Wine wiki cleanup

Post by Dan Kegel »

Over time, the Wine wiki front page grew rather unwieldy,
so I split the developer information off into two new pages,
leaving only a simplified front page behind,
mostly aimed at users.

It's radically simpler. Hopefully it'll be more welcoming to new users.

Ahh, that's much nicer. I'd thought about doing that a week or two
ago, but then got busy with other things.

I like it.

Should we do this for the FAQ as well? I mean:
  • Make a separate developer DeveloperFaq (WikiName)
  • Move developer related topics from FAQ to DeveloperFAQ
  • Add question to FAQ "Where is the Developer FAQ?" to FAQ. -OR- Possibly not as a FAQ question but a very visible Note at the top. "Developers see DeveloperFaq"
A shorter FAQ may look less intimidating to lazy readers thus encouraging more readers and possibly fewer "noob" questions on the list.
