Revision as of 16:44, 9 July 2007

Import from the original doxygen documentation is finished. You can start editing it. Enjoy! Dionoea 11:12, 7 November 2006 (CET)

Formatting: Put authors' names in the discussion page

I'd suggest de-emphasizing the authors of this article. For one, this will change as more authors edit this wiki. In a sense they are credited in the article's history page, but, of course, the basic principle of a wiki is that the authors are relatively anonymous.

But my suggestion is mostly based on what a reader wants to know. He/she is not so much interested in the authors as in getting information. Hence, I'd suggest the information come first in this, and all other articles, and the authors, if they need to be listed at all, be moved to the discussion pages.

Just my 2 cents...

I agree. This is mainly legacy from the old documentation (I didn't really change the layout when importing the docbook into the wiki). -- Dionoea 17:53, 9 July 2007 (CEST)
I made the changes. Also, the GPL notice is duplicated in various templates. Perhaps it and the copyright notice should be moved to the footer. I believe that MediaWiki gives you the option of automatically inserting a GPL notice.
Where is it duplicated? AFAIK it's only automatically inserted if you use the Documentation template (at least that's how I planed it to work). Dionoea 18:44, 9 July 2007 (CEST)
