:::Well, I'm hardly talking about something as involved as replacing stairs with an elevator; just a single page that recreates the hierarchy of a PC installation (and another page for the Mac installation if it's sufficiently different), which just lists the files and folders, and links to pages that are mostly pre-existing that document each file/folder. So the user can learn about any part of the Oni installation from a natural GUI approach ("What does this part do?"). It would just provide another system of links to existing documents, for the most part. | :::Well, I'm hardly talking about something as involved as replacing stairs with an elevator; just a single page that recreates the hierarchy of a PC installation (and another page for the Mac installation if it's sufficiently different), which just lists the files and folders, and links to pages that are mostly pre-existing that document each file/folder.

:::But actually, I ''was'' thinking we ought to be documenting the persist and key_config files. I believe that persist.dat has already been totally reverse-engineered, so why not put that info up on the wiki? And key_config should be officially explained somewhere. Why don't you just take a look at the result when I get to it, and weigh in then? You approach the wiki from an expert's perspective, but I'm approaching it from an Oni-For-Dummies perspective at the moment. But the slow but steady influx of newbies with newbie questions on the forum indicates that help for newbies on the wiki can still be useful this far into Oni's life. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 14:55, 20 March 2008 (CET) | :::But actually, I ''was'' thinking we ought to be documenting the persist and key_config files.
