Talk:Calculator Documentation

I changed some headings and moved stuff around a bit. I think it's more logical this way, but I don't mind if you change it back. Jib 02:37, 5 November 2006 (PST)

The only thing that bugs me about it is that there's a "software" heading that includes both PC software (emulators) and calculator software (TIOS Alternatives), not to mention that software documentation is listed under a different heading. What do you think about:

Z80 Calculators
 TI-83
  Programming
   Ports
   RAM Areas
   B_CALLs
   etc
  Software
   Calculator Software
   Emulators
   Linking Software
   TIOS Alternatives
 TI-83 Plus Family
  Programming
   etc...
  Software
   etc...
 General Z80 Info
  Instruction Set
  etc.

68k Calculators
 TI-89/92+
  Programming
   etc.
  Software
   etc.
 TI-92
  etc.
 General 68k Info
  Instruction Set
  etc.

TI Community
 History
 Programming Teams
 etc.

For example, in that organization, the TI-83 Emulators page would basically just be a list of the emulators compatible with the 83, each of which would have their own separate page. So the VTI page might be linked from the TI-83 emulators page, the TI-85 emulators page, the TI-89 emulators page, etc. I like this organization because it makes it clear what calculators everything is applicable to, and it decreases the number of top-level categories. But maybe it's too complicated or has too many levels. Thoughts? --Dan Englender 09:11, 5 November 2006 (PST)

Yeah, it seems like a good idea to me. Jib 12:35, 5 November 2006 (PST)

Descriptions

I was just made aware that searching doesn't always work so well when looking for certain things. I think adding little descriptions after each link may help with new user finding things that aren't easy to find using search. I would do this however I have the grammar and spelling skills of a jar of mayonaise.

Also right now the Wiki isn't very friendly to new comers. Perhaps brain storming some ways to improve ease of use is in order.--Jim e 23:03, 13 February 2007 (PST)
