Re: Starting a wiki?
awesome! it seems like it's already there
maybe we can also think about custom assets library? or will we just make a forum thread similar to the useful scripts repository?

Re: Starting a wiki?
Awesome - have very quickly mashed something on the front page! Will have the time to get the rest of it setup after work this evening.
A couple of thoughts to ponder:
1. Is everyone happy with the suggestion from Montis about having sign-ups to the Wiki done through these forums? I think that's a good idea myself to (a) prevent spam bots, (b) keep people coming through these forums, (c) we could setup usernames so they are the same as the forums. It is a bit confusing that the logins are the same but the passwords could be different, but if we keep the usernames the same and one day Almost Human decide they want to have the wiki, there is a chance they can integrate the logins.
2. I'll invite the admins/mods here to have a similar status on the wiki (administrator or beaurocrat I think MediaWiki calls it) later on this evening.
3. In my mind there are two possibilities for structuring the wiki category wise...
(a) Have Tutorials / Resources / Reference Guides at the top level, and then break down into "Level Creation, Modelling, Scripting" beneath that. This is how the Skyrim wiki is laid out.
(b) Have Level Creation, Modelling, Scripting, etc at the top level and then have Tutorials / Resources / References within those categories.

Re: Starting a wiki?
If I might jump in (slightly late) to the topic, the Nexus has a Wiki system already setup that is linked to via Grimrock Nexus that can easily be setup to work for LoG as well. I keep it spam free 
It works through the Nexus account system, so you need a Nexus account in order to post or edit pages (cuts down on spam and helps with management).
If people are interested, let me know.

Dark one makes a good point. Otherwise registration through the forums sounds like a good choice. (at least while the editor is in beta)

Re: Starting a wiki?
So this was last week, any update? I see the site is up, but no way to register yet? Maybe a few of us can be added to get the ball rolling
