 Not sure what you mean about 'general tags'. Why?
-<del>I regret, though, that I must reiterate what I told j_e_f_f_g on the forums - that there's not much use adding any entries to the wiki hardware index as of now, as the RDBMS-based index will supercede it.</del> **It's okay, add HW-Index entries for the wiki, they will get replaced by the RDBMS-implementation when it comes, but it's easier to transfer entries to the new DB when they're in the existing format (the new DB seems like it will be mostly based on it)** I must say, though - it looks bad, atleast to me, to not have thought of this in advance and have avoided all these ungainly shifts and changes.
+HW-Index entries for the wiki will get replaced by the RDBMS-implementation when it comes, but it's easier to transfer entries to the new DB when they're in the existing format (the new DB seems like it will be mostly based on it), so if anyone wants to submit entries in the meantime, keep them coming.
-raboof moved some old hardware pages to /hw/start. When the RDBMS-based index gets off the ground, we'll add that information to the index and then delete these pages.
+raboof moved some old hardware pages to /hw/start. It'd be cool if someone converted these to the HW-Index format, I'll be doing as many as I can find time for.
 A note regarding HW-Index entries - posting links to insightful forum posts, ML discussions, and logs of IRC conversations about a device is encouraged, BUT, please try to list the important information from said links, and use the links only as source citations, like so -
-  * info from link
+  * info from link1
-  * more info from link
+  * more info from link1
   * ...etc
-    -- from $link
+    from $link1
   * info from link2
-    -- from $link2
+    from $link2
 That way, the links are there to acknowledge sources, yet the user doesn't have to wander around unnecessarily for the information, it's right there.

 [[wiki:introduction|Introduction]] is supposed to be a starting point for newbie user. Please extend it where appropriate. Offer additional information as links for other articles in this wiki, if possible. Avoid external links: this is a introduction article, supposed to lead to more detailed articles in this wiki, so don't send user away.
+Being a newbie myself, I will give it a go to make the page better. Please do not remove the old intro page too soon as it contains mcuh valuable information that could be pasted elsewhere.

+Yes. A user-centric way of presenting the material and the recommendations would be to structure according to "use cases". For example, someone who liks to do recording with their keyboard is different than someone who wants to do looping with samples and voice, guitar players, etc.
+OT: 'signature' always inserts my email address instead of wiki:user:... Why? Can I change this?

 ==== Redesign front page ====
 Front page must have balance between offering information and showin links. Mainly it's for navigating to the contents of wiki. Some images would be nice also.

+Thought the same, started on it today. FIXME I lack perms to upload images.

+==== Tutorials page ===
+I think it would be more user-centric to have all the tutorials on the respective app pages. That would mean, the tutorial page would be deleted after all tutorial links have been moved. Thoughts?
