   GPWiki graphics articles.
  No, I'm not writing one -- I suck at creating 3D graphics -- but I have offered to edit those written by Jarrod1937. (Specifically, this one.) I've done the pre-tutorial part; just the tutorial bit itself to go, but the plan was to break the whole thing up into more digestible chunks and post it to the GPWiki. Only... where? There's an "Arts" category hidden in the wiki with two tutorials in it (flagged as "Lacking"), but it seems a bit... half-hearted. It also doesn't match GDNet's own classification, "Visual Arts", which would include video.In fact, there remains absolutely nothing on the front page to suggest this wiki is for anyone other than programmers and designers. I'm aware that this is an existing site run by other people, but I do feel it is somewhat lacking in breadth of coverage."Ah!" I hear you say, "Why not write something yourself?"Well, yes. But how? I can write a new page on art, but how the hell do I get a link to it from the front page? Furthermore, how do we get a "Visual Arts" box of links on said front page? I feel GDNet needs someone to take ownership of expanding the GD Wiki's breadth and depth of coverage to better complement the main site. This should probably be the same person(s) currently in charge of GDNet's articles and other non-forum content.   
  I agree that the Wiki needs some graphics boosts. I would really like to see some more emphasis on the non-programming portions of game development in the wiki (and the rest of the site for that matter).I'll try to get around to creating some pages sometime, but I just got done with a major um, writing thing, so I'm a little burnt out right now.   ;  This is my responsibility. My connectivity is limited through the end of the week, but it'll be a priority after then. PM me a reminder.   ;  For the record, if you want a change making to the front page of the wiki, the talk page for the front page is generally the best place to start.   ;Quote:Original post by superpigFor the record, if you want a change making to the front page of the wiki, the talk page for the front page is generally the best place to start.No. I don't do admin chores for free. This is a job which should have been sorted out by GDNet's own staff _before_ the wiki was joined to GDNet.I'll just advise Jarrod to post the updated articles in his forum. At least they'll be seen and read. If he wants them posted to the wiki at some point, that'll be up to him.;Quote:Original post by stimarcoQuote:Original post by superpigFor the record, if you want a change making to the front page of the wiki, the talk page for the front page is generally the best place to start.No. I don't do admin chores for free.It's not an "admin chore." I'm advising you of the best place to file feedback relating to the top-level structure of the wiki. Posting it here is better than not posting it at all, but posting it on the wiki's talk page is even better.   ;  Just an 'fyi' message:I've already posted 2 of jarrod's articles in the wiki a while back.
