The SketchyPhysics Wiki
-
This seems to have been... well, forgotten. I started off a few articles on it, with Sgal93 (who made it in the first place) but no-one else ever helped; if we all get together, this could really be something great! Lots of people have said they want to help... well, here's your chance.
http://sketchyphysics.wikia.com/wiki/SketchyPhysicsWiki
If you don't want to write anything, then you can make a logo, or example models that can be linked to! SP really needs something like this to get newcomers interested, which will help the variety of models.

I'd love to help with articles, but who is it for? really good people, noobs, or both?

Both... the point is, no single person knows every trick there is to create good SP models. I think everyone that uses SP would benefit if we all contributed.
If you want to know the style you should write in, I suppose it depends on the subject; experts won't be looking at the joints tutorials, and noobs probably won't be that interested in advanced scripting

I'm making an advanced article on tips and tricks for ground vehicles, I''ll make more in the future
-
I wish I could help, but I need to learn more about sp first!
-
Actually I think I can! http://sketchyphysics.wikia.com/wiki/The_UI_and_toolset on this page under the joint connector I think it should mention (left) ctr - click. I had some real trouble, because I'm using one hand and it is easier for me to use the right one on my laptop. Until this issue gets fixed it would be good to mention that.

I.frisken has a good idea. If you want to help with the Wiki (anyone can edit and its not hard!) go look at your post history and find the times you asked a question and got a good answer and then add an item about that. Maybe in the tips and tricks section or something.
You guys ask usually ask good questions.
I am going to start using it for release notes and the documentation of the script commands. And I think it makes sense to include a prominent link to the Wiki page in 3.0
Thanks to Wacov and everyone who has contributed to this much needed effort!

Ive put some stuff on it. I wrote a bit about bounding box determining the mass and how you can use that to change the COG. someone else has now wrote more about that in advanced tips and tricks. Don't know who. I also wrote about using thrusters for propulsion on a land vehicle rather than motors which is now my preferred method
-
Maybe there should be a projects page, where we can link to articles we can make about SP projects we're building; explanations about how they work, who's involved, etc... just a thought
-
It's a good idea wacov, but is there a way to make it more user friendly? I have real troube findinng articles
-
Do you mean the home page...? It is a wiki, so you can change it... I've basically been filling in gaps and creating articles using the outline Sgal93 created when he started it. The problem is, it's not like a normal website; the closest we can get is a list of links.

i like that idea.
-
A project page? Good idea!
-
You're the one who added the ford escape?! Thanks!
-
I thought you would... I'll make it now.
Ok, it's under Services on the main page. I've added the ford escape project and motorsketch to get the ball rolling.
-
I've added the bowler project and camokid11 and sgt a johnson added their metal storm prject
-
I saw; if there are many more I'll start putting them into categories. But don't forget about the other pages!
-
of course i won't, I've also made a page on vehicle tips and tricks
-
Really I mean the ones that have been started by others, but aren't finished, or could be added to... new articles are good, but don't take on too much
-
ok then, ut you still haven't justified that motorsketch
