wiki cleanup

[michael63-osm]

The "English Learning Guides" in the wiki are the resource users are referred to when they click on the blue button on the front page. Much of this material has already been included in learnOSM, we need to remove that from the wiki and decide what to do with the remainder. All documents referenced are Google documents.

The following table summarizes the current state based on a comparison I made today. For our convenience I've numbered the lines so that we can reference entries.

No entry in the learnOSM column means that there is no (rather: I did not find a) corresponding learnOSM document. A checkmark in the remarks column means that learnOSM contains at least as much information as the wiki (and is not a draft document but appears on the website).

My proposal for a first action is to remove the duplicate/obsolete entries from the wiki and summarize the remainder without any subdivision beginner/intermediate/advanced.

Michael,

Your right in everything you say, but Anwar has already been tasked with some of these within the beginner section.

I've just created a 'false guide' as a temporary thing - something to
test out. To view http://nick-tallguy.github.io/zh/josm/start-josm/

The idea is to create one of these for every guide which is 'missing',
with links to the guides that are present. We can use these as a
temporary thing before full translation, and to cover links to the
google docs.

Got to rush now - but your views appreciated.

Nick

@michael63-osm I've updated the wiki in line with your comments above. I will create a detailed guide of how to create an interim document for adding to the site with a view to getting our intern to create more - these two links are examples I have created;

&
