MID wiki now open and seeking mobile content
I'm happy to cautiously announce the launch of a wiki for all MID and mobile device development! We're using MediaWiki as the platform, and everyone is invited to make an account and contribute.
I'm happy because I think this could be a great resource. The good feedback I received from my Atom 101 post made it clear there are lots of questions out there around MID development. Even the definition of a MID has a lot of variations, then throw out UMPCs, UMDs, and Nettops on top of it How does moblin compare to Android? What is Atom? I'm still sorting it all out, and a fleshed out wiki would certainly be a huge help.
I'm cautious because this is a different approach than we've tried before, and because the wiki isn't already full of content. I'm hoping to start moving some of Intel's static, PDF, white-paper content into dynamic, evolving, community driven material. This is a new idea to a lot of internal people, and my regular question of "Could we add this to our new wiki?" is usually met with silence or some hesitation. Fortunately a few hearty souls are willing to give it a try so I will keep at it.
I'm also cautious because I'm deliberately opening the wiki up without content so it doesn't start as a giant Intel document repository. I want to get lots of Intel content in there as part, not all, of the collection. As long as it relates to mobile device development, this wiki is wide open to non-Intel content.
I am going to keep adding material, and urge people to at least subscribe to the new articles or edit feeds. We'll do more advertising of the site once it reaches a greater critical mass of content. In the meantime, I'd love to see people hop in there and add their own material, or leave a comment here and tell me what would make the MID wiki a valuable tool for you.
