OpenEmbedded website

[Andrea Adami]

Hi all,

after one year, I'd consider the transition to the oe-core development
model concluded.
Though, most people visiting the OpenEmbedded site do come on IRC or on the
ML asking about oe-classic.

Unfortunately, the infos and the whole wiki are misgiving: there should be
immediate links to the oe-core model, to the layers, to the Yocto
documentation.

In my opinion, we should archive the old site and restart from scratch.

How would you improve the current (embarrassing) situation?

Cheers

Andrea

What I also see is that people stop by asking about opencv and dsplink etc.
Often triggered by this page:
http://code.google.com/p/opencv-dsp-acceleration/wiki/Instruction_For_Building_Examples
That page is still for oe-classic and probably quite outdated.
No idea what to do about that.

A good start would be replace the curretn getting started page with the 
oe-core version. Getting started does try to steer people to the oe-core 
version, but you are right, it is time to start getting all the 
oe-classic documentation in a place that is harder to find and mark it 
as obsolete.

Actually the more I think about it the more I agree we should just start from 
scratch - move the current one to oldwiki.openembedded.org and start a brand 
new one; move over content where appropriate and create new stuff for 
everything else. Not only will it clear stale things out, but it should create 
some impetus to fill the void with new up-to-date content.

Cheers,
Paul

I have no objection to starting from scratch. But, to do this, we need 
people to commit to working on the wiki for a few weeks to get things 
back up to speed.
