Project overview message /task board

Summaries and conclusions about the progress, from this page and others:

• Suitable layer for all our pages still needed which has to fit the wiki outfit
• Useful [Wiki link] Teko can surely add his 2 Euro-Cent

Material type news:

• The Material Types will be listed twice, alphabetical and categorised (maybe seperated on 2 pages).
• The categorised list will use hierarchial branching.
• To every Material Type a short quickinfo ("x" - submaterial of "y", - for "function z"/ outdated/ stand alone] will be added to the alphabetical list.
• Because of the hierarchial branching only group-headlines and quickinfos about outdated material typesd should be required for the categorised list.
• "Found in "cMaterialDefinition" in Content." will be added on top of the Material Types - page(s).

Here we can tell to the other members what we have already done, what we are going to do, what needs to be done.

My first tasks will be:

1) Study the Wiki format :P

2) Find a suitable layout for all our pages

3) Create a basic page structure where the members can put the result of their work.

And my first tasks will be:

1) Stop struggling with the Wiki features *doh!* and try my very best to write understandable English

2) Continuing TXMT-parameter understanding (use/ in game behaviour/ whatever else is required)

3) Re-write the intro analogy (pixelhate's feedback and ideas are welcome =) )

4) Thinking about a way to translate everything (including cross linking) as the Wiki is "English only" area
...if succesful write the analogy again in German ;)
*thinking* Front Page or else for preparing HTML sites? Would be a nice download-feature, too (offline browsing the encyclopedia, no further webspace required) and not too complicated to copy the spreadsheed- data... Opinions?

As for the translation, this can be manually done, by creating "mirror-pages" (for instance: ...\TXMT will be ...\TXMT-de) and then translating each page (and editing all the links embedded in it). It seems a huge work, also because "someone" :) should keep track of the changes in each English page and edit the German pages accordingly. The same apply to the HTML version: per se, it's a good idea, but it will never be as updated as the actual wiki pages, unless that "someone" continuously verifies the wiki pages and edit the HTML version accordingly.

PS: we should also check if *this* wiki can contain non-English pages. I don't know.

Numenor 08:50, 15 November 2006 (EST)

Yes, it can contain non-English pages. I can setup seperate namespaces or a subdomain similar to Wikipedia (ie the en.wikipedia, de.wikipedia etc). Delphy 09:15, 15 November 2006 (EST)

Cool! So the language support can be solved within the Wiki (hehehe) and we can have a French and German translation - someone else interested? Spanish or whatever else? (@ Numenor: it's just easier to follow the content when you don't have to translate it at once but you immediately understand the words and meaning - and that's why even an Italian translation for SimPe was written ;) :P )

Mirror-pages are great and definately easier than updating a whole html-folder - though as soon as the site exists it's just a case of copy&paste. I don't know yet if I'll start it for myself but in this case I can offer the html version which I'll update with copy&paste whenever it's required... maybe I'll upload it to www.simforum.de *muahahahar* (serious: a thread which informs tutorial-searching ones at MTS2 might be helpful for them to find the TXMT stuff in here and of course it would make sense if Numenor is the one who starts this thread (your name is a kind of 'quality-sign' =) )

OK, I completely mixed this site up when trying to add a News-infobox (created the page [[1]] so if someone can fix it, please?) Took a look at Delphy's User-pic template and Patul's tutorial infobox but the stuff is too "programatic" (play on words, at least in German it works... nevertheless understanding required - still frustrated) to me :D

As you didn't give feedback to my suggested news-box you can delete it if you don't want it, guys. Otherwise, I'm still unsure if collecting all the news that belong to certain sites all together in here on the main page as an "project overview-overview" would make sense or if it might confuse someone - I think it'd be a good chance to know what's going on on the one or another site when the news would be integrated into the news on this site. If you agree with this idea - is there a way to add automatical the stuff from other TXMT-News infoboxes to the main-news? Asking once more, am I understandable? Feel like I ain't at all...
