Hello,

Are the wikis being merged? Is it my impression, or is there a main page for compiler things missing?

When I go to fpc page and click on Wiki it shows lazarus-ccr wiki, and I can´t find what was the old free pascal main wiki page, and thus can´t find the compiler related articles.

Maybe the 2 main pages could be merged or something like this.

thanks,

The pages are there.

Correct, somebody needs to rewrite the Main_Page to mention both projects, content, and links.

Once, I started a proposal but never finished it:

http://wiki.freepascal.org/New_Main_Page

Hello,

I implemented a trivial solution for this. Take a look at:

http://wiki.freepascal.org/New_Main_Page

I simply moved free pascal stuff to a new page on

http://wiki.freepascal.org/Free_Pascal_Documentation

And added a big entry for this on the main page.

So, what do you guys think? Can I move that to the main page?

I think that even my trivial solution is much better then the current solution: No links to fpc

I added the important fpc stuff already to the main page?

Sorry, I don´t understand what you mean. Can you explain better?

I just went to the main page and couldn´t find fpc things: http://wiki.freepascal.org/

? Just read the about section?

Ah,..... sorry =)

I couldn´t find it because I am used to ignoring the About section. IMHO the links to fpc things aren´t as easy to find as they could be, specially to new users.

My suggestion would be to add a small section for FPC of the same size as the "The Lazarus Documentation Project" section on the main page

What do you guys think?

Fine with me.

Felipe, as you have noticed, I have unblocked the main page. Please let me know when you are finished with it.

I am finished. It can be improved, but I'm out of ideas =)

I'am not ;) The wiki is definitively not the FPC documentation.

I've changed it to 'documentation for developers'. Covers the content better ?

I've extended it little bit (there are parts not
necessarily important only for developers like
localization) - hope it's OK.
