</span>Hi all,<br>
<br>
It seems this conversation has gone a long way from wiki gardening :)<br>
<br>
My feeling is that the wiki does not serve _New_to_Sugar_ users well.<br>
<br>
Moreover as there is a lack of reliable first steps information, new<br>
content cannot be written referring back to such.<br>
<br>
In general, I believe we need more content with screen shots aimed at<br>
_New_to_Sugar_ users, but they would be better delivered via slide show<br>
than scrolling pages.<br>
<br>
New to Jekyll, I did not work out how to do a slide show in Jekyll and<br>
Markdown. Can anyone point to a site that does this successfully?<br>
<br>
So I just ploughed on and generated content using Remark[1].<br>
<br>
An alternative Sphinx-based, slide show effort is used in SoaS<br>
Loader[2], but the product became over-weight in detail.<br>
<br>
I am submitting, again, my concept of a gallery[3] by way of<br>
conversation.<br>
<br>
Apropos wiki gardening, are there any views on what else is wrong with<br>
the wiki?<br>
<br>
One serious problem is that using "Search" button indicates material<br>
which may be obsolete but unmarked as such.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Iain<br>
