Below is the basic organisation of this wiki:
Overview#
We're organising the wiki pages according to:
- Tasks: things that need to be done (ideas explored, experiments to do)
- Hypotheses: a statement of a hypothesis and the results of the experiments attempting to prove the hypthesis
- Recipes: how to do some kind of task. This includes a Bill of Materials (BOM), preparations, and an explanation of how to perform the task, with results. If the recipe is for a software solution, this includes installation and testing instructions. Some recipes can be fulfilled by providing a list of existing web links showing how to do the task, such as installing Raspian on an SD card.
- Tutorials: a general explanation of a skill or how to perform a task
- Project Description: a description of a specific project, listing its BOM, any hypotheses it attempts to prove, recipes created during its construction, and any other information about the outcomes (including photos, videos, etc.)
- Reference Pages: lists of documents or links to web pages about a subject
Special Pages#
- Requests (I want to…)
- Recipes (How do I…?, generally short articles)
- Tutorials (longer explanations of how to do something)
- Projects: well, these are supposed to be "personal" robots. Each Project page is devoted to a robot, a component, or some other hardware or software project
- Ideas (Concepts/Theories/Discussions/Philosophical Musings)
- Reviews (hardware and software reviews, though these may occur in other places)
- Tags (the list of tags used on the wiki, and how to use tags)
...and if it goes without saying, we really appreciate Wiki Gardeners around here.
