GLBasic Wiki

Never mind them, they are just sad that the previous attempts all were forgotten :-)

And disappeared without warning too

I like the idea of a wiki but I think I'd like it better if it were a part of the official glbasic.com site.

I am good with wikis, so i made one for GLBasic.

Still doesn't explain why GLBasic in particular.

I have downloaded GLBasic, (I wanted to learn OpenGL) so I made the wiki for other users.

In that case, you won't learn more with a wiki as the forum is the first source. If you were serious, you'd be posting code/examples of what you have done with OpenGL.

And now, just like the others, this new wiki page is gone!

I see no value on a wiki too.

Forum is the best choice, but you have others...I run a multi monitor thing, to while my main glbasic things go on in one, I have helpfile open on the other, I also have Tatoad´s book too all around.

Should things get messy, I get back to the forum, it is where I get the most mix of multiple helps anyways, lots to learn from people around here.

Personally I would say improve the forum search so it isn't a massive waste of space, plus use a wiki for commands (that then can link to whole projects to download if you want) that can be launched directly (and updated) from within the IDE when on a command (eg. shift+F1 instead of the usual F1 for existing help which is also next to useless for searching). That way you can expand on existing help plus add help to expanded commands (ie. functions from well known plugins). Put some method of control into it (only registered users who have X posts perhaps) and you are laughing.

A wiki that doesn't link to the IDE or really to any fixed forum post will just die. Sad but, we all know, true.

Cheers

Something like the PHP online manual would be good, where the main description of a command
is there for all to see but can't be edited, but members can add their own comments and examples.
