[Bf-docboard] How Does This Work?

[Noel Stoutenburg]

A.P.,

In interpreting my response to your question, you should know that I 
think I am the next most junior member of the listserve, and what I 
don't know about it vastly exceeds what I do. But having made that 
disclaimer, it seems to me that there are two parts to the process: of 
updating and maintaining the WIKI. One is researching the software and 
documention, and finding the places where there are discontinuities 
between what how the software acts, and how the documentation says it 
acts. I will venture a guess that if you find such a discontinuity, but 
do not have the skills, or confidence to make the necessary changes to 
the Blender WIKI, you can publish the details in a message to this list, 
where it can be discussed, and likely someone else with the necessary 
skills can make the changes to the WIKI.

In the meantime, if you do not have the skillset for editing WIKIs. upi 
cam spend time in the help and sandbox areas over on "Big WIKI",, and 
gain the skills you need to do that. I don't know how the Blender WIKI 
is configured. I know on some WIKIs, one can edit pages without having a 
user name or password, but then the IP address from which you made the 
edits is visible. But if the Blender WIKI is not set up to allow 
anonymous edits, you will need to establish and account, which will mean 
registering in the WIKI for a user name and password.

On, and by the way, welcome to the club.
