[Fairphone 1] boondiordna:
Wiki pages - from first steps to an edit-a-thon

[MENTION=4465234]benkxda[/MENTION] : I know. It's not markdown, but you will get used to it. ;) And it might be a while until the xda dev wiki will get the nice beta editing interface of wikipedia.org, won't it?

@ everyone: Really, it's not difficult, there's an editor bar just like when writing here. As wikis go, the quality of the wiki depends on us.This thread attracted you (Yes, I mean you reading these lines! How do you do? :) ) and a lot of others. It would be nice if you spent some minutes over at the wiki. It would be

really

grand if you could join editing in information which is now found on this thread, e.g. in the OP. Or in the "known issues" section at the official fairphone forum. Or translate some stuff from the German Fairphone Freunde wiki.

On a personal note: I am a little short on time myself, and I haven't even received my FP1 yet. So, as of today, I just edited in the first FAQ point [MENTION=4465234]benkxda[/MENTION] curteously had integrated in his OP. Whenever I find the time, I'll edit in some very tiny bits of info. A very frequent concern seems to be the GPS, so I'll suggest we have some short lines plus a subpage collecting a howto from the different information on the A-GPS+EPO files.

[MENTION=5494566]simsalonaut[/MENTION] already said he/she would help, and I already saw edits from [MENTION=3289998]TheManii[/MENTION], [MENTION=5686789]hanso51[/MENTION], [MENTION=4515182]elchi1234[/MENTION], [MENTION=2011059]Unrelashade[/MENTION], and of course [MENTION=4465234]benkxda[/MENTION]. Yay, already six people!

I already had a very quick glimpse on the German wiki at the Fairphone Freunde forum and saw they started to organise theirs in a lot of different categories. Could anyone just ask those guys to also edit over here? A google translate version would suffice for a start. Maybe, at some point, we could even organise an edit-marathon. Collect some things to include, and make it a happening to fill them in on some evenings in a row. an edit-a-thon might actually help stopping something like a 2002-style wikipedia. Anyone remembers this: " Une '''poire''' est un [[fruit]]. "? Aaaah, the olden days of the interwebz...

BTW, there's a wiki page how to do that. See: Wikipedia:How to run an edit-a-thon

Clearly, usability of the wiki is going to be an issue. I assume no one wants a bloated scroll-to-ifinity page. So I plan I will spent some time during the following evenings looking at some online resources for other products (e.g. those stupidly named i-manuals by Sony, Porsche et al.), just to get some ideas how to organise it. Possibly, this gives me some ideas on how to organise a troubleshooting section, or to think about subcategories. Not considering their corporate bloat of high-res pics and vids, these pages often are surprisingly usable and concise. (Yeah, I know, they pay studies to check that.)

Hi guys,

as mentioned, I am still waiting for my device to arrive. Just a question for the people who already have theirs: can you find out which bluetooth audio codecs are supported by the FP1?

Erm, I've got actually no idea if this is a software- or hardware issue - can you install codecs on a android device? Like, e.g., you can for a RaspberryPi?
