    Slacor I am a big fan of Hugo (and other static site generators),

    Less infrastructure that needs to be handled, less security concerns, etc.

    What I think the issue with previous attempts at a wiki for this site was (and might still be) is that properly organizing information requires a consensus on how to do it, and the process of organization has a lot of "overhead", which takes time. Something that people don't have a lot of when they're busy enough and have their eyes bothering them from screens.

      JTL process of organization has a lot of "overhead"

      Absolutely, I've simplified the process for this reason. There is no need to organize further.
      For example, all phones go on one page. Just scroll to the spot and edit it. It is automatically indexed and permalinked
      For the first time a user makes a edit, github requires some extra steps however

      @Slacor Hi, when I discovered this forum a week ago, the first thing I thought is it needed some sort of organitzation, and now you create a wiki. I really want to help improving it, and for that the first thing I think it needs is a glosary of terms/concepts, because someone new needs a lot of hours to understand all details in the eyestrain illnes world.

      I tried to create the Glossary section but it wasnt possible with the edit button nor through the github page. Can you do it and I will fill it?

        NotAlone I added a glossary page

        What I would do is something like:

        ## Category
        ### Term
        Definition

        Or, just a simple term and definition

        ## Term
        Definition

        I will add my dithering tests and methodology when I have time

        Done. I think you have to approve it or something.

        My keyboard is a little bluetooth one, and lack of some characters. Also I am not a native english speaker, so maybe you would want to check it. Next week I will do another entry explaining the diferent kinds of screens (IPS, OLED, etc)

          NotAlone I don't see it yet
          If you modified it at /contribute you may need to set it to "in review". (I'm still figuring out how it works)

          If at github, you'll need to compare and submit the pull request and then I can merge it in


          New feature:

          Embedded Posts

          This embeds a "live" version of a post.

          {{< forum-post "555" >}}
          {{< forum-post id="555" length="300" >}}
          {{< forum-post "https://ledstrain.org/d/795-community-wiki/10" >}}

          You can get the post ID by hitting reply and it'll look like this:
          -> @Slacor#11754
          {{< forum-post "11754" >}}


          An example of a embedded post:
          https://wiki.ledstrain.org/docs/guide/#diy-oscilloscope---pwm

          ## DIY Oscilloscope - PWM                                                       
                                                                                          
          {{< forum-post "3658" >}}

            JTL I've been building other sites too, and I've been getting closer to the 300 minute build time quicker then expected.
            Github Pages gives 2000 minutes, so I've been seeing how that is implemented.

              @Slacor Some days ago I posted an update for the wiki, and now I just did the same with two more sections, and still can't see the update from the other day. Probably you have to accept it and you didnt see it. Check it please πŸ˜‰

                NotAlone How are you editing it? With the Front end at https://wiki.ledstrain.org/contribute?
                This is the biggest case of them not showing up:

                Note: be sure to set the status to In Review after saving. This causes a change request to be made.

                  Slacor I don't do it through the page you linked. I do it through the "edit page" button on the wiki page. This is also how I did it the last time.
                  So shall I do it again through the page you linked or did you find the edits I done?

                    NotAlone

                    When you do it through github it'll probably show something like this

                    You’re editing a file in a project you don’t have write access to. We’ve created a fork of this project for you to commit your proposed changes to. Submitting a change to this file will write it to a new branch in your fork, so you can send a pull request.

                    What's strange is I just tested it and I could detect a fork being made but I don't see yours.
                    Can you link to where it shows your changes?
