[Scummvm-devel] Wiki feedback (was: ScummVM loadable modules)

[yotam barnoy]

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?

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?
