We need a real wiki-Site

@paulakreuzer

Yes, but the tagging function is broken atm.

It is not broken at all: Topics tagged wiki

@huskers

Still, I would also prefer a solution that offers better findability for key terms.

You can always use Google’s onsite search:
site:forum.fairphone.com - Google Zoeken (Click on “search help” in the forum search.)

@paulakreuzer

You mean a Category for Wikis? I suggested that a long time ago but could never get a majority behind that idea.

The reason is that such a solution would be inconsistent. Why should software-related topics not be in the software category?

@Douwe

What other ways could we think of? Maybe adding Community generated How-To’s to the Fairphone support with proper attribution and link back?

I really like this idea! Fairphone could show how much it values the community, by incorporating community generated wiki articles in the knowledge base.

@Douwe

As wikis grow, it is hard to go back to every page and update information. But then again, maybe this community is big enough to do that…

At least not yet (it will never be for FP1). Also people expect to find everything in a proper wiki and expect the information to be correct. Such a small userbase cannot guarantee either of both.

Because many people don’t understand the concept of root. Doesn’t really have anything to do with wiki topics though.

I agree with @paulakreuzer on this and would like to add that this isn’t even Fairphone-related. It’s about the various terms and could be discussed on any platform.
