Talk:Using Ratpoison

Organizing the book
I noticed your new book Using Ratpoison. It seems to get very professional. I just want to let you know at an early stage, that a prefered way of creating subpages is "/" or ":" (without spaces before and afterwards), where "/" gives you the additional advantage that you get an automatic link back to your main page. Have a look at the discussion at Hierarchy naming scheme or the recent conversion at Talk:How To Build A Computer. I'd therefore recommend to organize your book like this: Using Ratpoison       <- should be what you currently call Table of Contents Using Ratpoison/Cover <- Move your cover here (you can link from the bookshelf here) Using Ratpoison/Introduction <- move "What is Ratpoison" and "Pros and cons" here Using Ratpoison/Your first steps and so on. Avoid having too many subpages if you don't have the content yet. For your book, 3 or 4 subpages are enough (more can be easily created later as soon as you have enough content). If there are questions, just ask. --Andreas 10:11, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your feedback. This is in fact my first wikibook, so I am glad for any hints that I can get. I will edit the pages subsequently as soon as I can find some spare time. Etnoy 08:16, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me taking the liberty here to implement this. Don't forget that the pipe character '|' can be used to show a link name that differs from the link path, for clarity's sake. Orethrius van Degaurde 07:04, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, it looks like Etnoy has this well in-hand, the bookshelf just needs a little cleanup. Orethrius van Degaurde 07:09, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Reorganisation
I merged the two ToCs, it might be prudent to delete the old one. Orethrius van Degaurde 07:21, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, now that I think of it, this should go in the ToC, and the Cover should go here. Orethrius van Degaurde 07:21, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Done! Hope that's made it a little more prettiful.  Orethrius van Degaurde 07:28, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
