Take a look at [http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/www/click.html Why "Click here" is bad linking practice] for more information. Regards, Mark R.

Very good comment, and even better link - Thanks, I'll bear it mind. [And, no offense taken - If we're gonna do this, we're gonna need thick skin before it's 'right'!]

I see it's a new site, congrats!  I don't know anything about JMRI, otherwise I would contribute.  I was wondering, where could I place a link to the DCCWiki ([http://wiki.dccforall.com/]).  Any ideas?  For now, I'll create a simple "References" type page, which feel free to change/delete/whatever.

Was wondering if you would want to add an interwiki link to the DCCWiki.  This would probaly help with doco since a statement like:
+
-
 
+
-
<nowiki>"For Digitrax systems, you will need to connect your [[dcc:LocoNet|LocoNet]] to your computer."  or "The [[dcc:Command station|command station]] is used to route programming codes to the [[dcc:Decoder|decoder]]."</nowiki>
+
-
 
+
-
This would change the link from your Wiki to point to the DCCWiki where LocoNet (and other DCC topics) are already defined.  This will be helpful because people could just simply use this for pretty much any general DCC (non-JMRI specific) topic so that people reading your wiki can quickly lookup items easier.
+
-
 
+
-
The alternative is to copy/recreate all the general DCC topics here.
+
-
 
+
-
Let me know what you decide, and if you need help doing this, let me know. [[User:TazzyTazzy|TazzyTazzy]] 23:06, 13 March 2006 (PST)

Let's not get to excited about adding content here just yet - we should take the time to create some templates for information so that we don't have to go back and redo pages. It might be a good idea to pop over to Wikipedia and take a good close look at how they do things before we start. We don't have to copy everything they do, but we don't have to re-invent the wheel, either.
