====== How to help with this site ======


===== Technology =====
It probably doesn't look like it, but this site is just a wikiwiki. [[http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/|MoinMoin]] to be exact. The theme was prepared specifically for it (style sheets mostly by Patryk Zawadzki), but most of the functionality remained unmodified. 



===== Access restrictions =====
One noticeable modification is that this particular wiki requires being registered in order to make changes to it. [[http://pld-linux.org/UserPreferences|Registration]] is currently opened to everyone, but in case of any trouble, this **will** change and additional restrictions will be added (of course developers will be granted accounts automatically). 



===== How to make changes =====
Organization of this wiki is flat just like the organization of our [[:Repositories|repositories]]. This means that anyone can just press Edit and modify a page. It also means, that everybody is responsible for his/hers modifications and can get in trouble for breaking something. Especially since modifications are being reviewed in real time by at least a couple of developers (again, just as with our [[:Repositories|repositories]]). So **do** check twice before saving a modification. If in doubt, save it somewhere in the wiki (eg. youraccount/draft) and ask for assistance in the changelog. 



===== List of pages which need an update =====
[[http://pld-linux.org/CategoryUpdateNeeded|Here]] is a list of pages which need an update. 



==== Navigation menus ====
In order to change the content of navigation menus, developers (and only developers) can access the PLDWWW module in our [[:Repositories|CVS repository]]. Appropriate files can be found inside the 'panels' directory. 



==== Rules concerning style ====

  * When referring to the PLD project as a whole, you can use 'we'. 
  * When referring to the reader, write 'you'. 


===== Note to PLD developers =====
When registering, do try to use your CVS account names. Note: accounts here are **not** automatically synchronized with CVS's accounts. You have to manually create a new account and it's in everyone's best interest for you to use your CVS's account name.
