Pages that especially need work
Categories
General issues with categories
- Please read wikipedia Categorization page and FAQ
- There are way too many categories.
- The categories index is static and therefore out of date.
- The wiki index is another static categorization. It is therefore out of date. Moreover, it seems strictly hierarchical, while actually pages should be described with multiple categories, and categories can have multiple parents.
- There should be a small number of a orthogonal category trees, each describing one consistent conceptual taxonomy.
- Ideally categories should not include language, if we don't do so the list of pages is cluttered.
- There should be only one category taxonomy for the "Neo type" with subcategories "FreeRunner", "Neo1973", "GTA03"... Otherwise, categories should not include the Neo type.
- Another big taxonomy can be based on the layers model. "Hardware", "Drivers", "Operating system", "Framework", "Applications", "Distributions". With many subcategories here.
- A taxonomy of technical level of expertise "General public", "Beginners", "Users", "Experts".
- A taxonomy by function or by subsystem: "Phone", "Wifi", "GPS/GPRS modem", "USB", "Bluetooth", "Accelerometers", "Audio", "Power", "SD card", "Serial bus", "Display", "Accessories", "Debug board"
- A taxonomy by maturity: "Wishlist", "Experimental", "Unstable", "Testing", "Stable".

Lists now implemented as categories
These Pages are now implemented as categories, thus the unmaintaned pages could be removed. - Kempelen
Note that as a matter of principle, lists and categories are two complementary ways to organize information. We should strive to have both excellent lists AND categories in the wiki.
Too general category names
These end up in mixed content. They could be removed and content migrated to more specific category names.
(1) We've moved Openmoko Inc related info from Openmoko to a new Openmoko Inc category. This was the original aim of the Openmoko category when it was created.
The Category:ideas
Problem 1:
Many pages have Wishlist: in the title. This syntax is potentially confusing because there is no Wishlist: namespace. Should we suggest a mass rename from "Wishlist:(.*)" to "Ideas - \1" ? Or really create a Wishlist: namespace for vaporware ?
Problem 2:
A significant minority of pages in the "Category:ideas" are missing the prefix in the title.
Problem 3:
There are two templates, { { Wishlist } } and { { Unimplemented } } . Is that unnecessary redundancy, or is there a subtle distinction .
DolfjeBot1 proposals
Their is a bot on the openmoko wiki that's controlled by User:Dolfje. If you have tasks for the bot, please put them here.
Wiki engine issues
Can we please install/fix the following features for this wiki:
- Math - the Tex math markup does not work currently. Test:
- <math> z =\left (1-\left(\frac{P_{ind}}{101.325}\right)^{0.190263} \right ) \times \frac{87.828}{0.00198122} </math>
- <math> P_{ind} </math>
- Syntax Highlighting - makes code much more readable
- GraphViz works with the commonly known dot language - it allows us to draw graphs using easy markup.
- AnyWikiDraw allows us to draw svg diagrams directly on the wiki page.
- Make visited links a different color.
Change Sitename
The name of this wiki is currently "Openmoko". I think it should be "Openmoko Wiki" for the following reasons:

Organize translations
I suggest moving the translations to sub-wikis, like the way wikipedia does it. Currently all translations show up in searches and under category-lists. --Johndoesacc 12:03, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Rejected requests
When a requested Wiki Issue is voted for not to be done, it must be moved here, to make sure it won't get continously requested again.
- Don't translate the wiki - rejected proposed by Minime August 2007, moved to rejected by Kempelen August 2008: the Documentation Team looks to support the idea.
