Title: Merging Wikis
Post by: burr on December 15, 2007, 08:05:00 am
I've been periodically checking xLIB Guru to see if it has received any new updates, but unfortunately it has pretty much died. So, I was wondering what you guys thought of merging it with http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com? TI|BD averages several edits a day, and it also has over 400 pages of content. Although we've been concentrating almost entirely on pure TI-Basic thus far, we would like to cover all of the TI-Basic assembly related things as well, so the xLIB Guru content would fit right in.

(I know it's against forum rules to advertise another TI site, but I asked Kevin and he said it was okay.)

Yeah the guy who founded xLIB Guru retired a month after it all started, and given the fact the guy who hosts revsoft.org retired from the TI calc stuff maybe one day he will decide to trash everything TI related from his server (except maybe Revsoft) and put other stuff there instead. I thought about a merge before but I was sure you guys wanted to stick to pure BASIC. It would be cool if it expanded, I would be happy to merge, altough I don' think i will be able to help much :(sad.gif

Sure thing is that once the pages are moved the xLIB Guru link will be replaced with the TI-BASIC Wiki

I definitely agree, and it would be really easy to merge xLIB Guru, considering it only has three pages of content. Heck, I could probably do it in under an hour :Dbiggrin.gif

If you need any help, don't be afraid to ask, unless the 2nd thursday 2 months prior falls on a day that is a multiple of 7. :Ptongue.gif

In other words, I can help!

If you want to add the xLIB Guru pages to TI|BD, that would be great! Help is always appreciated. :)smile.gif

Or both tifreak8x.  That might actually be a good idea , I mean it'd be beneficial to have everything in one place.

What tutorial are you working on? The xLIB Guru?

Post by: tifreak on December 16, 2007, 10:29:00 am

Is this another one of the calc.org tutorials?

Post by: JoostinOnline on December 16, 2007, 02:16:00 pm
So will it become TI|XD (TI-xLib Developer)?

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 16, 2007, 02:31:00 pm
I think it will remain TI|BD but it will have a side section for xLIB

No, something Fryedsoft had that was located on the webarchive thing.

I have completed 1 of 2 of the tutorials, starting in on the second now..

Oh yes...

Would it be ok, if/when I get that far in the list, to simply do a catalog style system for what th TIBD has?

I just finished adding the http://tibasicdev.wikidot.com/xlib content to TI|BD, so I can scratch that off of my to-do list :Dbiggrin.gif

Are you talking about simply linking to each page, or actually adding each page to your site?

Post by: tifreak on December 16, 2007, 05:38:00 pm
Adding the content of each page on to my site. I consider TIFW a tutorial archive, afterall, in the event other sites fall... :)smile.gif

Several other people have contributed besides me, so it would need to be a group decision. I'll start a thread on the TI|BD forum, and see what the other guys think about it.

I added the home page, readme page, tutorial page, and masked sprites page. Did I forget anything?

It seems to be all, because by doing a research it seems to be the only relevant pages in the xLIB Guru.

Also I noticed another thing, your wiki is much faster. Mediawiki always seemed slow, no matter how fast the server is :(sad.gif
