 There was a lot of criticism regarding "only to offer a wiki" as documentation source. People are really looking for downloadable and readable installation guidelines. If they are searching on the net, they normally are looking for PDF-files. There was a lot of criticism regarding "only to offer a wiki" as documentation source.

 +  *  [ [[Teranders@gmail.com|Terje Andersen]] ] We could present a button for creating the pdf as Mike here suggests. Additionally we could regularly produce a snapshot of the wiki which is further tailored (handcrafted pdf) for different readers, like system administrators, users, developers and so forth. I would like us to start "small" with the first suggestion though ;-)
  
 ===== Wiki Layout ===== ===== Wiki Layout =====
Line 81: Line 86:
 A lot of the contributing people would like to have a more wiki like page template. The logo bar should be removed and the layout should be spread over the whole page. The CSS file should not modify the major tags like h1, h2, P or SPAN - this should be in the hand of the user (configuration of the client/Browser). A lot of the contributing people would like to have a more wiki like page template.

 +  * [ [[bd.dali@gmail.com|Daniel Lindgren]] ] I suggest that X2Go's wiki is changed to use either the default DokuWiki template (as seen on  [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki|www.dokuwiki.org]]) or, if sidebar(s) is wanted, [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/template:arctic|Arctic template]]. 
 +  * [ [[Teranders@gmail.com|Terje Andersen]] ] I agree with Daniel here, of the two mentioned here I would choose the Arctic theme.
