Shorty after itsme started posting stuff to the special "Itsme's research corner" forum, we installed the wiki, and it turned out to be a much better channel for posting ongoing research documents.
I will try to work the wiki information into the main xda-developers front page. Until then, make sure you visit the wiki every now and then and click 'Recent Changes'.

Cool m8!
Will keep checking the wiki site.

The wiki ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com ) contains a tiny start of what could become a very nice FAQ. I do not have time over the next weeks to expand what's there, and appeal to any and all with some time on their hands to please see if they can add structure, or just questions and their answers. Feel free to change it until it's good, that's what wikis are for.
Nice post peter
Question for you
How would you feel if you had spent over 2 months building a wiki for the blueangel, posting the files to the ftp site, to find that they got deleted on the 16 .
Pm 2 admins, one picking up the pm but not repliying, the orher not picking up the pm.
Rebuilding the trashed ftp site, re linking the wiki links, Posting to the ftp non public thread, reading that it will happen soon, watching the ftp site getting trashed again (today) and then reading your reqest?
Ps you have a pm from me datedted 16 march, feel like picking it up?
Why this beautifull FAQ (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel) is not visible for ordinary people? I found it by accident.
But it is!
Top of screen to the right is the link wiki.xda-developers.com
On that page under HTC Device you will find Blueangel
The Blueangel Link gets you to that page
Never thought that behind these WiKi activities this FAQ is hidden - put another link under this WiKi.XDA-devloppers.com link with something like "How Blue Angel works" or "Blue Angel FAQ" or "Knowledgebase". So a person who visits for the first time immediatly sees this fine product of hard labor.
What happen to the Magician section ? Are we being ignore ???
Well, I really love your job, however, my device is being left out !!
Wiki like the forum is user driven. In short if no user feels the need or want to update wiki then it just does not happen.
You dont need to be a moderator to add pages in wiki, you dont even need to be good in english for somebody down the line will add or correct your page.
I have to say - that's a real shame.
There's a lot of information requested on these forums that has been requested before - but often it's buried deep in a confusing thread (most recently the splash image tweaks for the HTC Wizard - I have no idea what util tweaks what splash).
I just created a Wiki page (search for my username, I guess - it's not really linked from anything much yet), and I plan to create more related to the Wizard as time becomes available.
Wikis are inherently much better at giving concise information than an open-discussion forum... wish people would use it.

Hi guys, is it possible to have access to google-analytics results? Since we need to know for what the users are looking for - the most common search, how they act in site (in wiki! and so on)
Then we can make THE wiki.
Posting to the ftp non public thread, reading that it will happen soon

I have started a relatively ambitious project to re-work the wiki pages as well as create a central place for site management projects including the webpages, forum and wiki. Obviously since I am just one person and not even a moderator or admin I will be needing a lot of help from everyone.
The forum is still the ONLY place to make normal requests. These wiki pages will be edited as issues are posed in the fora, especially the "About xda-developers.com" forum for site, forum and wiki queries.
The SiteManagement wiki pages will be for admins, mods and active contributers to collect and identify work that needs to be done.
I have created these pages because there is a lot of disparate, yet excellent, work being done on the site. And at the same time there is an obvious lack of response in the forums to certain issues which need to be addressed. Coupled to this there is a underlying disconuity in the wiki pages making simple browsing tedious.
Enter the SiteManagement Wiki Pages!
Please all interested in helping the xda-developers.com project continue being the success it is take a look at this wiki entry and see where they can help. We also need people to scan through the About forum and collate all requests yet to be completed.
Lets get the pages act together, so we can better server others and ourselves and make this devmod site something to be proud of!
Marc
-----------
Todo:
Flesh out the rest of the pages referenced.
Collect all requests outstanding.
Initiate Logo and Theme submissions/competition.
Get admin and influential user interest/buy-in.
Initiate Template discussion to get the best device template.
Initiate topic based sorting system for wiki.
Begin rewriting current pages in the wiki.
Get list of admins and maintainers together.

Diamond goes wiki
A wiki page has been opened for the Diamond since a while ago...
WIKI for Diamond
Please look here before asking questions on the forum.
All users can edit this page so you can all add information thus making it a better source of information.
-------------------------------------
I have put many Information in it ...
also some rubrics are empty at time... but i search and put all the time infos together and post it in wiki...
if you see errors or have more information feel free to edit/add that infos to the wiki!!
More major infos about the circulating (Shipped) ROMS are desired !!!
please any of the MODS out there made this Thread Sticky!!! --> THX a lot!
thx
FutureShock (Steve)
yes this should be sticky, but not in this thread, this is not ROM Development, yes its about the product but not specific to ROM Development.
Good work though
Hi, i think it should be sticky here too because many Noobs are coming to rom development forum and asking stupid questions... i have nothing to say there where some problems where ROM developers stoped their work because of always answering stupid questions again...
so i think this Thread is good here too!!
The only thing should be that all help together to put all Informations in Wiki too!!
i agree, though thats where STRICT moderation comes in, i know the guys have been a little slack lately (yes that means you too MrVanx and shogunmark ) but they are can take a few days off here and there.
Hello *,
I just added a wiki page to the XDA Dev wiki together with some links from the development forum.
Please feel free to edit the page and add the information you deem important.
Cheers,
CS

Why don't you sticky Sorensiims "How I mod my defy" topic?
Thank you!
Would you mind making it also sticky in the dev sub-forum? As most of the links point to dev-resources and since many questions arise concerning these topics it might help people to get started.
Looks great! Nice to have all the information gathered in one place.. will be helpful when I finally dive into the world of rooting/flashing after my exams
added new section: Recover Nearly Bricked Phone (hopefully)
if anyone wants to contribute, feel free.
will take some time until i posted everything i know
(quite busy right now...)
thanks guys!
This along with other guides saved my ass so thank you for this majorily appreciated

very nice
There should be a directory for all of these wiki pages. With all this info in one place, more unregistered users will end up registering just to be able to access this stuff.

IP67 it fake in Thailand don't work.

can't Proof dust (some device)
Can't Proof scratch on Screen Gorrila Glass. cause Key Scratch in my pocket.
Just updated the custom ROMs section.
Add cm7 Tom too
Sent from my MB525 cm7quarx
Dumb question: Asking here since the development forum isnt open to me yet.
I have CM7 beta5.1 but there's been alot of force close of android.media process. I want to reflash 5.1 but the custom recovery does not recognize the SD card. Is there a suggestion on that account which may be of use?
Else it may be included
Maybe an update for the Nordic ROM 2.2.2 as well

Great. Thx very much!...i searched a lot for Eclair but now it`s so easy
It's very good!Thank you!
I would like to suggest an improvement. (I assume the subject is manually edited, rather than scripted.)
I suggest that first and pure mentions of devices in news articles link to their wiki page - lots of times I read of New Miracle Device X123 and click, expecting to gain info on what the device is - phone/tablet, looks, true manufacturer, etc. Instead I get linked to the forum and the standard subs - developer, apps, questions, etc that all devices have on the forums and learn nothing except that lots of people posted about it. It seems like a perfect place to use the wiki for a quick overview and picture.
Then, when there is a reference to a detail about the device, a project, configuration setting or such - then link to the proper forum or a particular thread.
Assuming I'm fairly normal, I find I click those 1st links right often expecting general data about a new or unfamiliar device - and always get that first forum - that I could have guessed existed - making the first link (to the top forum) fairly useless, as the detail link will usually be listed below in the article to the thread about the particular topic for the device.
Hope I made sense, thanks for listening!
The problem with that is unfortunately our wiki is horrifically under utilised with most device pages containing little to no information.

My preferences change in wiki is not being saved even though it says it's saved.
Whom should i contact regarding wiki issues? Wiki admins?
--edit--
Looks like it's a known issue.
Bit of a bump...
It does seem that wiki is a great place for a first notice, and a first link.
While it's not really development, you have to know it exists, etc before you can develop!
Perhaps the first news team can be tasked with an initial entry form that becomes the first paragraph for wiki - manufacturer, release, expected OS, etc.
If news or development got to me I could rough out a form and start....
