Documentation?
« on: January 31, 2006, 12:52:09 PM »
Hi,

I started using aMule (migrated from mldonkey) some days ago ... and let me tell you I'm very satisfied with it in general. Beside that I've to mention some things that attracted my attention during setup and configuration of aMule ...

1. I'm using amuled on a sarge box without any graphical ui. So before starting install I'd to read a lot of the documentation on the wiki. I found out how to setup amuled, that there are deb-packages, that exists a webserver amuleweb, etc. After installing from deb-packages also found out that amuleweb seems to be integrated with amuled (hope I'm right with that) nowadays. Reading many messages in the forum later also showed me that there are delivered more temlates than the default (which is width respect ... shocking and unusable). As in this examples I found a lot obviosly outdated information on the wiki.
I know aMule is a community project, but is there someone overviewing the documentation from time to time? The current docs make things not easier for beginners that use setups beside standard install, I think.

2. I've problems setting all options right, because I'm not using a graphical ui. The options in the config file seems not to be documented ... I guessed what most of them are, but that's no substituion.


Regards

Neko

well ok

1st thing.

about the deb packages, we dont make the deb packages, its either the distribution who makes them or some users from the forum. the only things we provide are teh tar.gz, mac-binary and win32-binary. all other questions/problems you should report to teh packages.

2nd thing

about the docu, yeah its all a little spit from amuled docu to amuleweb, but I wrote them and atm I have to stupy for exams, but once I get them done I will update the documentation.

3rd thing

about the docu of config file, well most options are self explaining in my eyes. and also there are a couple of threads in forum about the file. but true there should be also a wiki page about that.

So far I could not find any tool that can convert html (or any other format) to syntax wiki uses. I have no masohistic ideas about writing docs in 100x200 edit box.
Is it really the only way ?

I always use an external text editor, that's far more convenient than the little edit box.

Ah, you mean that you format wiki sintax _manually_ ?! No, thank you, have other things to do in spare time. WYSIWYG editors are already invented _even_for_html_
