Cool that almost everyone is positive about the design - only the drAgon seems to be a little negative - for the first time in the entire thread?
Then - the content...
Only 2 comments so far:
* LuigiPabl sent me some good points, hope you like it better now (see below and correct me one again, english isn't my first language) keep in mind that some words like "decentralized" are good to keep for the search engines, even if it gets a little dense.
* lunokhod2 gave me a lot of input, i'll try to sum it up...
1. we should keep the tech talk down to a minimum.
2. there is not enough info about the coin, we need to describe what anoncoin is, how it is different from other coins, why anonymity matters, what Zerocoin is and why a casual internet user should download the client.
3. there is no info about how to download the client, how to set it up, and to give some real basic security advice.
4. there should be info about the dev team.
5. the average user will not read the wiki, so all information should be in the graphical web site
6. one page format doesn't provide enough space for the content needed, 3 pages should do it.
...and answer:
1. agree.
2. i agree that its good to exemplify what is unique with anoncoins privacy and anonymity, but its getting techy very fast im afraid... maybe some more info written in "normal" english could be added to the "black box of info", feel free to give it a try.
i added direct links to the I2P, Tor and Zerocoin pages in the wiki. (see below)
an idea for the anon-wiki to show differences between coins: make a table with the anonymous cryptocurrencies and their different privacy features (something like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptocurrency#List_of_cryptocurrencies). this could also be copied to the actual wikipedia article under a new header "Anonymity".
3. the visitor just has to click the OS of choice under "WALLET" to download the client.
im convinced that the best way of helping the user set up the wallet is to make the installation process fail proof, either without the option to make mistakes, or with a guided tour, or a manual included in the download.
4. i asked a while ago that
https://wiki.anoncoin.net/Team should be created (just copy paste from
https://anoncoin.net/index.php/the-coin), i added a link to the team page. (see blow)
5. i agree that the average user will not read thru the wiki, but im sure they can read an article on there just as wall as on the front page, as long as they are being served a direct link.
6. i guess its just about where we draw the line between "enough info" and "tech info". i think you are a little to advanced and im probably a little to "normal"
anyway im convinced that with some good direct links to the relevant information the visitor will get what the visitor wants, whether its on a second front page or on a second wiki page.
the positive things with keeping the details in the wiki is that there is no limit to what can be added, its searchable, its more community friendly with several users being able to update, it has a good back end to make the updates and it keeps the main page clean.
and here is v.2.0:
