Move all relevant information from the wiki to the documentation and bring it down
Time and time again, the wiki keeps popping up on discourse, misguidded user keep using it as a reliable source of information, which it is not. However, it does contains interesting sources of information that we may not want to loose. Let migrate all relevant information from the Wiki to the paraview docs and bring it down for good!
First, we will need to list all relevant pages we may want to extract information from, then we need to do it. Once all is done, just ask sys admins to hide the wiki from the public.
Here is a list of relevant pages:
-
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_Release_Notes: All release notes should be added to a dedicated blog post -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_Nightly_Binaries: Should be added somewhere in docs.paraview.org -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_And_Mesa_3D: Should be updated and reposted on discourse as a tips and tricks -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Configuring_Server_Environment_Using_*.pvx_XML_Files: Should be ported to docs.paraview.org -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Statistical_analysis: Should be ported to docs.paraview.org -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Writing_Custom_Applications: Should be ported to markdown doc -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Camera_and_Property_Linking: Should be ported to docs.paraview.org -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Related_Publications: Should be added to https://www.paraview.org/resources/ -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Testing_design: Relevant information should be ported to md doc -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Restarted_Simulation_Readers: Should be ported to docs.paraview.org, see below comment to improve the doc. -
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Python_recipes: Put some in discourse tips and tricks
To generate this list, I started from https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView and followed the site tree map and ensure every link goes purple. All page not listed here have equivalent in docs.paraview.org, md doc or are not relevant at all.
The effort needed is small and the community will gain a lot to not have misinformation about ParaView lying around.
