The current page on this is, frankly, pathetic, and I want to do something about that. But first, I'd like some input on my current idea.
Right now, I'm considering making it a portal page, since I believe that sooner or later MP is going to be a much more significant part of FS than it currently is, and doing it that way will leave good room for exansion without compromising accessibility. This would also be a very quick and very easy way to get a framework going that looks accessible to a newcomer, as I can just copy the FRED portal, delete the links in the menu bar and at the bottom and replace them with multiplayer oriented ones. Could have it done in 5 minutes, probably. The articles that the links point to would still need to be written, though, as there are currently
none on the subject, but even without any it'd probably be better than what's currently there
What I need to know is:
A) Is a portal page a good idea, or should I drop it and just make an overview page that gives the basic information?
B) If you think it's a good idea, which articles should it contain?
To give you an idea about B, the basic list I'm working with after a quick brainstorming is below:
Technical stuffGetting started guide
A list of mods supported by FS2NetD
A troubleshooting page with solutions to the most common problems
Community stuffA Multiplayer Squadrons category
An online codes of conduct (or whatever it's called) page
Maybe a guide on multiplayer tactics, if anyone can write one (I'm definitely not qualified for that).
