Great, look forward to seeing your wiki grow.
For my $.02, where I think you could have the most impact to start—and would be a great way for you to become familiar with the TADS programming environment—is to provide a kind of road map into the existing doc set, which is quite extensive, but also quite fragmented (docs are not updated or corrected in synch, so one will say one thing, another something else) and itself undocumented (little to no indexing, little to no cross references).
The original docs for TADS3—the System Manual and Technical Manual—are HTML docs that are not indexed and therefore very difficult to use as reference material. Then there is the Learning TADS3 document that is indexed, but, since it’s a PDF, the indexed passages are not easily accessible from a browser.
On the adv3lite side (my own area of interest, since that’s the library I’ve used to create two games, one released the other in beta), there is the Adv3Lite Library Manual, an HTML doc that is indexed, and the Adv3Lite Tutorial, an HTML doc that is not indexed.
That latter doc, the tutorial, contains a wealth of information that is largely unusable once you’ve read through it, because the only way to find that gem of a passage you’re sure you recall seeing that you just know is related to your current problem is to read the entire document again—if you even remember that it’s the tutorial, and not the manual, or the Learning T3 pdf, that contains the golden prose you seek.
Compounding the problem is that each of these docs has its own timeframe—they were written at different times, with somewhqat different understandings, and they are not always in synch with current implementations.
One book will say one thing, another will put it somewhat differently, and another will be simply incorrect. Your wiki would be extremely useful if it could help sort out all of those inconsistencies. Even just a pointer to all of the various places where something like sayDeparting() (to site an example that was just discussed in a recent thread on this forum) is defined in the Adv3Lite docs.
Some kind of uber index to all these disparate sources of information would be ideal, though admittedly a lot of work, but nonetheless a noble goal for a wiki such as yours.
So, other than kibbitzes from bystanders like me, what kind of help are you looking to get from this forum?
