[Qemu-devel] Wiki documentation organization

It looks like the QEMU wiki is being organized into folders. I'm thinking the page http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/ should be a listing of all the platforms QEMU currently supports. The list would be links to their respective pages. Example:

Platforms available in QEMU:

ARM
i386/x86-64
MIPS
OpenRISC
Power
PowerPC
Sparc
68K


Thoughts/suggestions/additions?

Makes sense.  You can also use

* [{{PagesStartingWith|Documentation/Platforms/}} All platforms emulated by QEMU]

instead of listing them manually.  Also please add [[Category:User documentation]]
to the pages.

Good, but don't create orphan pages or they are going to be deleted
sooner or later.  I moved your page to Documentation/Platforms without
the trailing slash.

I was actually thinking about what to do with the trailing slash. Maybe the page with the trailing slash could be a redirect to the page without a trailing slash?

Now we have two lists of platforms: one in
http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms
and one in
http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation
(and the latter doesn't provide any indication that
the former exists, but it's where users are most
likely to start from). What's the plan here?

I wrote a start on an ARM-guests page, and have added
it to both lists:
http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/ARM

The page http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation looks like it is in need  
for some reorganizing and rewriting. I don't have a plan on how to do  
this right now, so I defer that decision to Paolo.

Would you have a picture of a guest running in an ARM emulator? I  
could add it to your ARM wiki page.

At the very least, if Documentation/Platforms exists, Documentation
should link to it and not include duplicated content.

I think the question is what we want to do with
Documentation/Platforms. If we are planning to
extend it to have more information then we should
just refer to it from Documentation. If it's
never going to be more than just a list of a
dozen or so links to other pages, then I think
we might as well fold it into Documentation.

Thank you for the picture. Would you prefer I link to the file or  
upload the file to QEMU's website?

I don't have a personal preference. Either variant is fine for me.

Could there be a problem because of a copyright for the OSMC logo?
Then linking would be more safe.

I've added a skeleton page for s390x. Needs more work, obviously.

Thank you for your contribution. Could you provide some more  
information.

This is what I suggest:

Who would want to use the s390x emulator?

A picture or two. (I can post it for you if you have a picture)

Links:
- iso files
- free software
- websites that have more info on the s390x

Technical information on the s390x emulator:
- What needs to be completed
- What works
- What doesn't work
- Limitations

How someone who wants to help can help

I will be glad to help if you need it.

Pictures don't make much sense, as there is no graphic interface.

If you could give me some extra hours :)

Thanks for the offer, but I'll see what I can do when I have some free
cycles (yeah...) (I don't mind others joining in at all :)

I was just hoping for something that would ensure the user that QEMU  
can work.
Something that the user would be familiar with was all I was

I made a few additions to the page. Hopefully someone can verify my  
suggested command-line info.

s/suggested/minimal/ for your command line (it is not very useful
without any I/O devices...)

The rest looks good. I've added a bit to it.

That is a possibility. Maybe there is some games available for this

If you know how to add these I/O devices, please add to the minimal  
command-line.
We could do two command-lines, one minimal, and one with the added I/ 
O devices
if you like.

There's probably a lot more that can be added on that page, but my time

Your additions look really good. Thank you.

Is Alexander Graf still working on QEMU? I haven't heard from him in  
a while.
