-====== Notes for Editors ======
+I like your color approach and it would dnfieitely help to resolve some of the problems surrounding wikis. Unfortunately it doesn't help with the problem of updating/maintaining content. I think wikis needs a strong notion of ownership and in addition to that people, willing to contribute/update and maintain the stuff that they produce. If those requirements are not met it will end up being a pile of meaningless pages and links. I've been there myself. If I don't feel responsible for the stuff I produce, I'll never come back and update/maintain it.
-Editing page content is easy. Please follow the notes above the edit-toolbar (when editing a page) to get you started with dokuwiki.
-most entries are still barebone **meta**-information (only visible in box or index) with little extras, or few comments. It should be straight forward to fill in or update meta-tags like //screenshot//, //link//, //author//, etc. and extend the wiki-page with information.
-Re-assigning **tags** (or meta-topic, meta-category) is not as easy as we would like to have! At the moment new categories are generated by using a new tag in any wiki page.
-The category page corresponding to a tag is **not** automatically generated, but has a generate-template (just click create and save). - look up [[:apps:index|existing category tags]] and extend this list by hand editing after inventing new tags! (this last step will soon be automated.)
-===== creating new entries =====
-  * there is a template of meta-information that we'd like you to fill in and the wiki page can extend as needed.
-  * assigning tags, and meta-topics is still tricky
-    - cut and paste [[:apps:index|category]] names
-    - use underscores within one tag, use space to separates tags
-    - each meta entry is unique!
-    - [[tags_and_metas|read more]]
-  * all applications or projects have their own wiki page in ''/apps:all:''//name//
-    - choose a name for the application
-    - visit the ''/apps:all:''//name// directly
-    - clear the page to delete it.
-    - edit/create it the same way :-)
-    - we have a button for that, too:
-{{NEWPAGE>lad:all|newpagetemplate=:site:lappstemplate&newpagevars=@TAG@,new;@TOPIC@,no_topic}}
-===== Comments =====
-We are considering to use dokuwiki also for comments and blogging, but until we decide so, we encourage to add comments directly to a wiki page under an appropriate heading at the bottom.
-use the [[:wiki:start|wiki]] for suggestions or join discussion about ongoing work there.
