Special:Badtitle/NS102:Scribus Times and Gazette/Call for wiki editors

I suppose everyone has seen the recent remake of the www.scribus.net and the wiki.scribus.net. What might have slipped through the cracks is the main idea behind the change. A heavyweight Drupal based www with lots of functionality and complex set up was just too late to the game to make a difference in the Scribus community. To tell you the truth only three people posted to it and nobody from the Community asked for an account, though the help form that sent emails to the Scribus mailing list got a lot of use to be fair. In addition, there was quite a bit of repetition between the official documentation on http://docs.scribus.net and the wiki.

So, the recent makeover sought to shift the balance to the wiki that seemed to be the most accessible and most populated web resource in the Scribus Community. The www website is now relegated to the role of a static landing page set that will rarely change. The Scribus Wiki is now the official focal point of the Documentation and Community building efforts. As you can see many articles were transferred from the old www and docs websites to the wiki and the wiki has been restyled and souped up in functionality to provide better content handling and editing tools to the users.

And this is why I am issuing a call of writing and editorial help to the Scribus Community. If you would like to contribute however little free time you might have please head over to this wiki and start cleaning up the old articles, categorizing the materials, tagging articles with pre-made templates for cleanup, deletion, featured, and archive Category:Editor_Templates actions and so on by using markup where "Template" should be changed to the right template name. The Wiki_Ops page shows those templates as well. Nothing in this wiki is off-limits. If you would like to improve any of the "Official:" namespace articles please post your contributions into the "Discussion" page for that article and we'll get it applied and look into giving you more broad editorial rights. Category:Wiki_Help category is the clearing house for editorial discussions. Category:Categories is the category that holds all sub-categories that appear in the left-hand sidebar tree. Even if you can't code you can still make a difference! Let the fun begin...
