The board information directories are an attempt to structure the V8VEM Circuit Board information in such a way that it is easy to locate the pertinent documents about a specific board type and revision. It is my hope that people working on the wiki will embrace this new organization and place/update files in it rather than in top level folders in our wiki.
Andrew suggested I work on this to make things easier. I don't want to seem like I am unilaterally telling users what to do with the wiki, but rather suggesting politely we give this a try. If you have a suggestion I would like to hear it. If you want to help, that's great. As a software engineer, I like things all sorted out. That is what I am try to do here, I hope others like that too. :-) doug
Within the three board type directories, I have named the subdirectories with a short prefix, such as MINI, or S-100 or ECB. This is to prevent namespace collisions with other existing directories in the wiki. (I hope). The renaming process seems a little twitchy in that after files seemed to be moved somewhere else, attempts to remove a deprecated directory produce a warning about dozens of files being deleted, which seems pretty scary to me. Maybe the wiki needs time to get used to the idea of files being moved. Perhaps tomorrow the deletes will work as expected.
Suggestion:
Can you please add 'ISA Boards' folder, and move following to that folder:
- OPL2
- XT-IDE (it has it's own folder, and some readme under IBM-PC ISA boards)
- Sergeys XT
- AVL (under IBM-PC ISA boards)
Due to a limitation in the structure of PBWORKS, I cannot add more subfolders within the ECB Boards folder.
When a folder has more than twenty items, the overflow items end up on a second page. That can make them hard to find if a user doesn't look at the bottom right corner where the paging control is.
I moved the ECB subfolders up to the Board Information level where they could be used to reduce the number of items per folder to a visible extent.
