Re: How to get wiki editing permissions

Hello Forum! I am a new person in a free-software community. And I want to be an editor in FreeCAD Wiki. I am from Ukraine and have really good skills in Ukrainian-Russian translation. In my country, we have a big community of people, who use free soft and want to read pages in native, Ukrainian languages. But I understand that the ukrainian language is not very popular in FreeCAD Wiki. (4-25% vs 94-100% in the Russian language) :cry: Have a nice day and let's make the free product better :D

Hi,
I found a few (very) wrong translations in the German translations of the wiki and want to fix them.

Please note that there are some discussions about translations in the German forum, e.g. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 82#p575182. Help is welcome.

Hi, I would like to improve the wiki, because I read and learned from that. When I was reading, I found some mistakes, like image from button or some words letters mistakes. It was the third time that I am asking the permission to send a PM to get the permission. I will give up if my post is disapproved. I will be sad, because I would like to help, but, I don't have more time to try to get this permission. :|

Approval done. You should be able to send PM to Wiki administrators to get access.

Hi,

I'm new to FreeCAD also and want to improve at least documentation.
Then I write this first forum message to have right to send private message to ask write permission :)
I have also a subjective remark, would it be better to follow "doc as code" principle instead of old fashion wiki?
Personnaly at works, I'm a developer, we manage doc with same tools as code, with a git based forge like gitlab, github, which renders doc language (mardown, asciidoc, reStructuredText) pretty good.

Regards.

PM me with your email address and explain a little more what you would like to improve documentation-wise. As for the other subject you raised. This is being discussed. But it's something we're not ready to just yet.
