      Our SP manual is ready- almost empty. Being too little to became a "true" wiki, is now a sub-wiki in The Wikia Scratchpad. His URL is http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/SketchyPhysics_manual.
      I added one article, about joints, and some index. The rest will be developed in future.

        Awesome. I've copied across my (brief) descriptions of the versions, and added the download links for RC1. Also fixed a bit of english 😄

          This is an awesome idea. I was never much good at documentation. Thanks everyone!

            Thats a nice Wiki. The editing system is much better than the one I use at work.

            BTW Curbs did an awesome tutorial a while back. Its for 2.0 but it all still applies.

              I made two pages for the google-code wiki and if you want me to add them to this new one I will.

                Yeah, your pages look good; everyone should contribute whatever they can. I've started to write a couple of the pages, including links to various useful websites.

                  I could make the first link (http://sketchyphysics.wikia.com) work. It means that we have a complete wiki for SP. So, add the new pages here. I am transferring the old pages to the new wiki. I am sorry if I made some trouble, but is better do it now than in the future.
                  P.S. In the new wiki we can show a SP LOGO. I don't know if there is already one. If not, is a good chance to start creating one.

                    Yay! A proper Wiki... I've done a little bit on the new one too. I'm going away on saturday, so I'm getting as much done as I can before then; it'll be nice to see what you guys have come up with once I'm back. And I don't think there's already a logo... how about this:

                    Didn't take too long

                      ...My Idea would be having the pencil in the sketchup logo, falling on and crushing the house 😄

                          Any chance of changing the colour scheme to something more like Curbs' tutorial? It doesn't really feel like SP yet...

                              I think BTM intended a screenshot of a SP simulation...
                              -It's possible to make an icon which will be showed on the browser's tab. Is a 16x16 pixels icon, and if there isn't something better I will use the main image and resize it.
                              -About images... I think that some pictures can improve our wiki. But unfortunately I can't upload images for something like a bug, so it's up to you.

                                ...Yeah, I meant making the logo in sketchup, than making it distortable, than dropping the pencil on it, and pausing when the house is half way broken. I tried making the house and pencil, and was very close to how it actually looks, but I forgot to save, and sketchup "Quit Unexpectedly" 😡

                                  I love the idea of a Logo for SP3. Ideally something that would look ok either big or small.

                                  I like Wacovs use of just the SP letters (means it will work small). But it emphasizes gears which unfortunatly don't work very well 😳

                                  FredIIVX's is also good. I like how it fits the sketchup look. But it shows a object damaged in a fall and that is something SP cant do (yet)

                                  When I was thinking about a logo a while back I was trying to find something that looked good using a SP superscript 3. Like SP cubed. Something that looked "physicsy" but also "fun".

                                    Hi everyone! I appreciate very much this collective effort to make a wiki 👍
                                    By the way, the wiki looks a lot better in Firefox with the No Script plug-in.
