Once all that is done, then each model of radio can point to the page(s) that apply to it, and ignore those that don't.
I'm not sure if you are just talking about the organization of the wiki pages, or links from the radio specific (driver) code to launch the correct page on the wiki. However, the later is something I've thought about a little, but never suggested because I didn't think there would be enough critical mass in documentation.
It could be helpful if from Chirp there was the possibility to launch a radio specific web page on the wiki for help:
- before starting the download from radio - before starting the upload to the radio - after a download or upload has failed for troubleshooting advice
The help menu should also have an entry to launch the radio specific wiki help page.
This means there should be a little planning in how the wiki pages are named. There should be (some) correlation to the radio driver since it will have to generate the URL. The radio specific pages on the wiki should be in their own name space. I don't know what redmine's capabilities are, the "name space" could be as simple as prepending a prefix like "Radio-" for all of the radio specific help template pages.
The rationale for this that I believe many people will attempt to use the software before looking for or reading any documentation.
