Sailfishos.wiki - An attempt to create an Archwiki-like community wiki for SFOS

As a basic level user, whose capabilities are very limited, this seems like one of the most interesting projects around SFOS at the moment! A well-constructed wiki has the potential to spread awareness of SFOS and therefore, I believe a mention of this project would fit well in this topic: [Strategies] Bringing more sailors to SFOS.

I ended up running SFOS as my daily driver, because I happened to know the right person who was eager to introduce me to the system. In a more ideal scenario a potential user is able to find all the necessary information easily online to make a well considered decision.

I really like the way MediaWiki presents information, but I do admit it is a bit too time-consuming to use at first. Of course, the structure and the content of the wiki ultimately decices what would be the best platform for SFOS wiki.

Visiting ArcWiki is a good place to start in my opinion, even though our needs aren’t 100% identical. What I like about it is one can immediately find answers to the most usual questions regarding the operating system: what it consists of, what to expect and how it differentiates from other operating systems. This kind of information should be on top of the hierarchy in my opinion, because it serves the widest audience: users and potential users. I know people are anxiously waiting to read and write interesting and helpful tutorials, but I want to stress the value of of the basics as well.

When the structure has been kind of sorted, I would like to contribute to the project some way. Can’t wait for what the future holds!
