Wiki?
Should I make a TI-Programming wiki?
You know your hexadecimal output routine is broken when it displays the character 'G'.

I would say yes, if there were a good group of moderators at the top to weed out the bad articles (I'm not sure exactly how wiki's work...is there a top level of mods?). It would be nice to have some new documentation for everyone, and a wiki would be a great place for everyone to contribute. Though it might end up being one big link to "28 Days".

We're almost done setting it up. It will focus on 83+ Family assembly programing and technical information to start, but we hope to expand it in the near future if response is good.
The only reason you need to make people Mods on wikis is so they can edit protected pages.
We're not going to include the kind of stuff that 28 days does. We're aiming at BCALLs and ports, not how to optimize and learn coding.

What about "tricks", how to think when developing radical software, how to overcome problems that seem rather impossible or similar. Just some sort of "cool" articles that spark motivation and innovation. Those are the things that one can hardly find anything on, but they often put coders off and either cool projects are never started on or projects are abandoned/stripped.
Covering bcalls (doesn't the ti83 "guide pdf" on TI's education-site have info on those?) and ports are rather elemental, that could fit in a few wiki pages.

This Wiki idea is great !
I once thought about putting a wiki on my computer - in fact I did it - and tried to paste the whole file ti83rom on a single page in order to invite evryone to complete it, but it was too huge and I was too lazy to split the page into small pieces, so I let the idea down
So, go for it, it's very easy to put a wiki on one's computer, just put an apache server and a MoinMoin wiki, it takes 15 minutes to do so on a Debian GNU/Linux system.

There are alot of bcalls that are undocumented, the few that are known are scattered on different places, without any real organization, besides searching the DS forum. As far as I know the only (good) port reference is michaels. And it seems Jman is gonna put his the hook info into it to. So finally it seems to be collaboration of otherwise unofficially documented info about ti-os. Which is really good idea.coelurus wrote:Covering bcalls (doesn't the ti83 "guide pdf" on TI's education-site have info on those?) and ports are rather elemental, that could fit in a few wiki pages.
Though I think actual coding wiki should be kept seperate from andys.
Hmmm...Would there be any legal problems with a Ti-os wiki? I remember when michael got letter for wanting to make his own OS. How would Ti feel knowing people are trying to decrypt their code?

There should be MaxCoderz and UTI wiki's too!
