Wiki/Glossary

#1

Post by GCoyote »


Even though I've been with you folks for a couple of years now, I still don't have all of the terms, slang, and acronyms down.
One helpful feature of the old site was the wiki. If phpBB doesn't support the wiki format, perhaps a glossary section to help the newbies?
Any metaphor will tear if stretched over too much reality.

We can add it to the 'project' list. If nothing else I'm sure we can find something we can use.

Maybe not a wiki .... But would this be useful? https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2400106 Described as a "Knowledge Base".
Just call me Geoff....

I do what I do because I can, and because I want to.
It doesn't mean I know what I'm doing :mrgreen:

I have looked at that. The problem is the list of terms is very long and you can't really do a decent 'sort' to find what you are looking for using that extension. It might work for 'articles' and such but we will keep looking.
