<div dir="ltr">As you can tell, I'm really not well versed with wiki stuff :) I also just joined it, and I didn't know how to get the user template thingie. Actually I still don't. How do I do it?<div><br></div>
<div>That developers' bios page is so cool - I love the map! It'd be really nice if there were easy, clear links to all that stuff. I think the wiki should provide as much useful information for developers as possible as easily as possible. So perhaps a developer's navigation bar on the left could lead to a Todo page, to the main developer's center page, and to the bios so a developer could easily find who's working on what. Those are the things I can think of right now. So maybe one bar for developers and one for users?</div>

<div>This has to be updated manually by each person though (for example Yotam is missing from that page I think).

This would force wiki editors to use the User template on their user page (which Yotam - again - did not do ;) ). Jordi has an example of this with the Project Services page. The normal page is fully written by hand:</div>
<div><a href="http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Project_Services" target="_blank">http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Project_Services</a></div><div>And here is the page automatically generated (if you edit the page you will see there is very little text there):</div>

Then we can think about adding some more info. We might also want not to give all the info on that page to keep it concise. Using that solution, the only think everybody would have to do is use the User template on their user page and keep the info up to date there.</div>
