15 years agoWe tried to integrate Alterawiki into Alteraforum as a single site, but the forum software integration with wiki was limited. We had to have two sites. AlteraWiki uses mediawiki, the same open source wiki software used by wikipedia. Its quite versatile and a well maintained wiki tool that we know won't go end of life =).
So we have two sites, one for Altera forum thread discussions (Alteraforum), one for revision controlled community articles and designs (AlteraWiki). The wiki provides you a place to share a design or a article with the community on a web page, where content can be updated by anyone. You will already see some amazing material on there like Rysc's 100+ page TimeQuest User Guide document that he wrote. Or the DPS Builder Advanced Blockset Best practice guide, written entirely in wiki text for others to modify and improve. Unless you have articles to share or write, you won't be spending much time on AlteraWiki since its not a discussion site, but you may use search to find interesting shared IP, designs, or how-to articles. It is the repository for sharing material, as opposed to answering questions. If you have questions and are looking for answers or are looking to provide answers, the alteraforum is still the place to do that.
