Corrected forum typos

Post by hofzge » Wed Oct 25, 2006 8:48 am

I have corrected all the typos and grammatical mistakes I found in the forum.
From now on I will try to do this on the fly once the new PPSers begin to write here and also I will correct the homepage, once I am able to.
I have to say that the general level of English is indeed getting better all the time! Keep up the good work, so I have nothing to do 8)

I am now trying to do the same with all Wiki pages (maybe with the exception of all tickets).
This WILL take some time. In the meantime I would like everybody to think about this: Wiki/forum

So I'm the first of this years PPSers posting here? :-)

If you intend to fix some errors: The SVN links mentioned on the page are broken on 99% of all cases (which resulted quite some time wasted when trying to get the sources):

1. Either they specify https://svn... instead of http:/svn... - with https it will always ask for username and password

2. Then there are a few cases where they refer to the data folder and specify http://www.orxonox.net... instead of http://svn.orxonox.net

That are the two main problems I met so far when I checked out orxonox and read the different informations on the page to prepare for the introduction lecture next week.

Thanks a lot for the infomation. I will fix this first as it's crucial to you PPSers. I really appreciate, that you already found the cause, as it makes my work a lot easier. I know that a lot of links point to http instead of https. I should be able to fix most of it next week... hopefully.

Wow, so there are some really motivated people in the next PPS :). Already subscribed to the dev-mailinglist and registered in the board. Happy to see that.

I think we gotta change a lot in the content pages (story and concept pages) in the wiki. It's probably a waste of time to search for typos there, when we have to rewrite them or move them to the archive anyway.
I suggest we just move the pages to an archive folder and I rewrite them with more or less the content, we already got in the old pages.

Beni, you are the only one who can say, what to do. If you say we move the pages to another folder, then we do so.

I won't search any more typos and won't correct the pages in any other way until they are in the archive folder. Thank you in advance for moving the pages and rewriting them.

I just archived all the pages. they can be found in the wiki in the archive "folder". Just put archive/ in front of the page name and you arrive in the archive. I also altered the links so the archive links to other pages in the archive.

Every content page can now be altered or deleted. I don't know when I get to update the pages, so if any of you can free some time and likes to summarize the stuff we discussed at the think tank meeting I'd be more than grateful.

I will rewrite the official pages on Wiki. Thanks for reorganizing.
