[Shotwell] Contributing to the Wiki

[Bruno Girin]

David,

That's a great idea! Editing the wiki is very easy: go to the URL of the
page you want to create, which should not exist yet, such as:
http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/HowToBuildInUbuntuFromSource

The wiki will automatically ask you if you want to create a new page.
Create it and populate it. I suggest you use the Debian one as a
template (for this, go to the Debian page, click "Edit this page" at the
bottom to see the source).

Formatting a wiki article is also very easy, you will notice that when
you edit a page, there is a link to a page that describes wiki
formatting just below the text area.

As for the fact that Lucid will eventually be out of date, it will
always be easier to edit an existing page to add instructions for
Maverick, Natty, etc than start from scratch so I'd say go for it.
