I'm a bit split on this one, my wiki page about Getting Started with Series 60 has started to take on a life of its own since I first mentioned it here back in the summer.
Since then I've probably doubled the number of useful links on the main page, and added a raft of (sparser) pages about individual phones and Symbian information, there's even a stub-like Getting Started With UIQ page. Given the amout of traffic I'm getting from search engines, I assume this is proving to be a useful resource, and I'd like this to remain so, but I really don't habve the time available to do full justice to keeping up with such a wide range of potential topics. Especially when someone like Rui Carmo is providing similar, but more extensive resources.
So the big question is, how do I go forward? There's 3 options as I see it
- 1 - Turn it into a content competition with Rui
- 2 - Keep the existing skeleton-like information and go no further
- 3 - Keep the existing information, expand it minimally where useful, and try to put fuller content in places where more people will see it
I'm aiming for option 3, option 1 is futile and it's not a war, I'm more than happy to link to anyone with useful content and I really don't have the time to catch up with Rui nor his access to new phones. Option 2 is rather pointless, in time I'll have a sea of dead links. Option 3 seems the best to me - using the wiki as an index to all the best things I can find - and with the amount of Google juice it seems to be getting, it should help to lead others to the nuggets too. As for fuller content, I've spent the last a year or so spreading myself too thin, but I don't want to give up any of the places I write yet (better time management ahead). I am aiming to get a lot more of the factual content onto Wikipedia and All About Symbian, with musings and analysis spread over All About Mobiles, Mobitopia and this mobile category.
Wikipedia in particular is light on good up to date mobile content, so that's certainly worthy of everyone's care and attention.
