ADOM Wiki

[seepage87]

We all know Andy Williams' http://www.andywlms.com/adom/ for the Adom guidebook, but I think the ADOM community would benefit greatly from an ADOM wiki similar to what Nethack has at http://nethack.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. It's an incredibly valuable resource, and a wiki is essentially ideal for Roguelikes. There exists at least one already at http://adom.wikidot.com/, but its very under developed right now. I think a community effort to port the guidebook to this wiki, or a new one at wikia would help everyone.

Also, should this maybe be in the General ADOM section instead?

RogueBasin ?? Hmm, not a good idea.

Whatever we do, it definitely has to be downloadable.

I'm just thinking... Adom has that wonderful and download able Guide, we should wait for jade and then writte a guide for it.. or even a modding guide..

I think that it is a good idea when JADE comes.. ADOM it self is not changing anymore so a the guidebook itself is kindda sufficient.. But when JADE is release.. I bet there is a lot of information that needs to be documented that can benefit from community participation..

The ADOM & JADE Wiki is the next (and final) improvement on my list of major things to be done for the website... but this will a month or two... for now I'm happy and busy playing with the blog and the forums and the next step should happen once more JADE code is finished

That should be enough time for me to finish SivWiki

I've seen that we can already reach the wiki... if we can guess its address

Can we get Andy Williams' permission to port the current Guidebook to the wiki? And will there be any policing to stop code-dived information being put in? I agree a wiki would be nice, especially since certain sections of the current Guidebook are out of date or could do with expansion. I worry about some very wrong information getting in though - how do the Nethack guys take care of this?

I agree that we should port Guidebook to Wiki (of course after asking Andy for permission).

I think NetHack does not have this problem (wrong information) since it is open source. I suppose we could have a rule that whenever you enter information, you add "[unconfirmed]", unless it has been already confirmed in a discussion somewhere (then you should add a link to this discussion). You can also confirm someone else's information and remove [unconfirmed]. Some people would check the Recent Changes and verify that these rules are applied.
