Re: [chirp_users] Programming guide for beginners
While that miklor site looks awfully good, it doesn't cover every radio that CHIRP does. In some cases it just offers Windows information on drivers and such. Valuable in and of itself to be sure, but there's probably some oddball cable issue with some of these no-name radios that CHIRP supports, but that site doesn't.
And didn't I just see a few Yaesu questions come through the list? That's another one where that site doesn't have a description for each radio.
Even if it's somewhat repetitive because it's common to every radio by that manufacturer, indexing these links can only benefit newcomers.

Step 1: register yourself an account for the Wiki. Top right corner of http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home Step 2: Tell Dan what your user number is, he'll upgrade your wiki account to be an editor. To find your user number, login, then click your name at top right. Your user number will be in the URL. Step 3: All that stuff you're talking about. :-) You'll/We'll make the wiki pages for each radio that you have info for, add the info, then link the listing of radio models to the correct wiki page.

Maybe there should be some pge withinstructions for peopel who are willing to get into editing documentation. It should explain how to become editor, what is allowed what is not, if and when they have to consult before editing, some standard procedures...
