-== DD-WRT Skin ==+This page is now merged with [[Talk:Main Page]], so please don't use it anymore.

-This is the current plan I had for a skin for the DD-WRT wiki. I've already ran the idea past Brainslayer and he likes it. [http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php?title=Image:Layout.jpg A screen shot of the skin.] --[[User:Interex|Interex]] 18:10, 2 Oct 2006 (CEST)+

-Who wouldn't :), its almost been a month now, just checking to see whats the deal and progress--[[User:Whiteboy|whiteboy]] 06:22, 31 Oct 2006 (CET)+

-== Main Page Organization ==+
- +
-I've already laid out a new layout for the front page which includes the most common areas or Indexes that users will need to go to find the information they are looking for. I'm thinking of including a small line of text further describing the kinds of information they may find in each index to remove any confusion. What do you think? --[[User:Interex|Interex]] 18:13, 2 Oct 2006 (CEST)+
- +
-I agree with the small line of text idea. -HK+
- +
- +
-I'm thinking that we need to have a category on the main page called "Articles". The two articles I've written don't really fit into the normal FAQ's. Should FAQ's be fairly brief concise statements on popular little problems? For example, "What's the default user name and password?" would be an FAQ. "Is My Router Bricked" can hardly be an FAQ (It's frequently asked, yes) but the explanation for that one is a long one. Is that OK? Do we need a brief explanation and a more detailed one?+
- +
- +
-Well there is a [[Index:Misc]] on the main page for miscellaneous articles, yours would probably fit best there. As for the FAQ I think it would be best to keep them short and to the point but leave a link at the bottom to an article that goes more into detail about the subject should the person require more information. --[[User:Interex|Interex]] Agreed! --[[User:AycheKay|AycheKay]]+
- +
- +
-We could have one article that talks about accessing the GUI, using a static IP in the correct schema, default user name and password, "Are the lights blinking", don't use the setup CD, don't use the SES button on the front, etc. This article would help newbies figure out how to get into the router, how to tell if it's bricked, all the common little complaints etc. But this is almost too large for an FAQ? Or is it.+
- +
- +
-Yeah that might be too large for a FAQ, that would probably fit best under the Guides section located in [[Index:Support]]. Hmm, might want to add a new index to the front, something like New to DD-WRT and place it under there? --[[User:Interex|Interex]] +
- +
- +
-The following FAQ's could all point to this same article:+
-How do I access the Web GUI?+
-How do I change settings on my router?+
-Is my router bricked?+
-What's the default user name and password?+
-Can I use the SES button on the front of the router?+
-Can I use the setup CD that came with the router?+
- +
-Any opinions?+
