(This first post is a place holder that will describe a new wiki that we can refer new members to, who just got a new kindle and their desire to add features to it brought them to our forum.)

We need to consolidate old and new information scattered deeply throughout the mobileread forums, which is necessary knowledge needed by beginning kindle developers, who may have little or no linux knowledge and may have never heard of bash. We need to put this information in a clean and easy to read format into a new wiki.

Here is the brand new empty wiki:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/w/index.p...le_Development

EDIT: It's alive! It is not so empty anymore. The wiki has begun to acquire basic content!

It should be much more general than typical answers to questions posted in the forums, and it should target beginners as its intended audience. Complex details should be avoided. Being a guide, it should have simplified explanations, with pointers to other places to go to read more about a subject to gain a deeper understanding.

It also needs an easy to read style, so important information does not get lost in a flood of details.

Please feel free to add to the new forum. Do not be angry if we move or change the information that you provide in order to consolidate it with other similar information.

Please help, and please enjoy!

Thanks.
