Wiki Pages
Pages capable of development
- OpenMoko:Community Portal
- Documentation
- AGPSD (Needs new GPS info)
- AR6K (Needs more info)
Redundant Pages
- There are several pages concerning OpenMoko compatible service providers:
- Carriers, most up-to-date, confirmed service providers.
- OpenMoko compatible cellphone providers
- Neo1973 compatible cellphone providers
- I suggest merging the editing help pages:
Tidy up
- Wishlist:Text Input - tidy up/sort, give short feedback to each method
Categories
These Pages are now implemented as categories, thus the unmaintaned pages could be removed. - Kempelen
- Advanced_End-user: use Category:User instead
- Basic_End-user: use Category:User instead
- System_Developer: use Category:System_Developers instead
- Application_Developer: use Category:Application_Developer instead
Category rename
Rename category | Reasoning | Yes votes | No votes |

Category:GTA02_Hardware to Neo FreeRuner Hardware | Kempelen, Marko Knöbl |
Too general category names
These end up in mixed content. They could be removed and content migrated to more specific category names.

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.
Wiki languages
Translating this wiki into other languages does not make much sense:
- All translated pages need to be kept up-to-date. The people translating will not see every change made.
- A partly (and often quite badly) done translation is no good.
- People who use this wiki are sophisticated users, they are very likely to know English. They will not use localised pages as they do not trust them in matters of being up-to-date.
- Rather create another wiki/information page with more static information for regular mass-market purchaser that do not care about 20 ways to connect their OpenMoko device with their PC but just about one easy one.

- I agree that technical pages don't need translating. However, I think that there are some pages for regular users which should be translated. Probably we could create a short list of pages which should be translated into other languages and prevent editors from translating other pages. --Marko Knöbl 16:15, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Change Sitename
The name of this wiki is currently "Openmoko". I think it should be "Openmoko Wiki" for the following reasons:
- The other parts of this site (Planet, Projects, Docs) have similar names
- Media Wiki automatically creates a namespace for the Sitename (currently "Openmoko"). This means that content of pages beginning with "Openmoko:" cannot be found through the normal search function of this wiki. (At the moment there are six pages of this kind: Openmoko:About, Openmoko:Community Portal, Openmoko:Current events, Openmoko:Searching, Openmoko:Current events/it, Openmoko:Privacy policy)--Marko Knöbl 18:33, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
