I’d like to contribute by beefing up the wiki. I’m looking for suggestions for articles. Is there something you wish was documented, or had better documentation? Have you developed something that you would like documentation for? Please post suggestions here so I can form a list to work off of.

I think we need a good overview of the different types of MT(LLP, DI, FTIR, DSI, Capacitive).  An article like, “How to give back to the community” might be nice as well.  I think one of the best things you can do is link to the wiki in your sig,

An introduction to programming for multi touch would be useful too, for beginning programmers (obviously) and more experienced people looking into developing for multitouch. Explaining the differences between the various languages, and how to get started with them relating to multi touch.

We really need to update the multitouch table creation page within wiki.  Since it was first written we have figured out a better way to make the silicone layer for FTIR as well as better IR LED setups.

I’ll give you a hand too, I’ve got to write up most of this stuff for my paper anyway.

Just added some extra info the the FTIR page:
http://wiki.nuigroup.com/FTIR

Cerrupcat and I could do with some assistance making it a bit more comprehensive if anyone’s free (just signup and you can edit).

I have also taken the liberty of starting a how to edit pages section, added a cheat sheet and made a standard page template which everyone should hopefully start using as the basis for all wikipages.

I decided to write a flash + flosc + bbtouch wiki today since that’s what I’m currently working on. I added a few others to supplement, but they are very limited so if anyone wants to expand them that would be a big help.

Run Flash Demos on OSX_Leopard
Reactivision
BBTouch
MTMini

Nade, I just noticed your standard template wiki. Thanks!

I’ll fix my articles to go with that. I’ve been having trouble with formatting so this helps a lot.
