Wiki updates!

[kaberett]

sophie, randomling and I have just been chatting in #dreamwidth-dev (the development IRC channel) about putting together a set of wiki pages on "how to tweak your hack". Wiki-editing isn't a thing I can do right now (because of OpenID and Wiki Account Reasons), which has prompted me to do the actually useful thing of asking y'all what you'd like us to document!

Current plan: take the Development landing page, and add a "Tweaking your dev environment" (or similar title) subsection, to include:

• how to set up support boards
  
• link to the Beta Features set-up page (and make sure we bring that up to date, while we're at it)
  
• how to set up PM abilities
  
• what are workers, and why do you care? Catalogue of workers.

What're we missing? What else would you find helpful? If you've wanted to do it, however basic you think it is, we should document it - because someone else is also going to want it, and some of us find asking senior devs for help on stuff like this really intimidating! Of course, if the wiki format doesn't work for you, they'll still be available to ask for help, and that is totally cool - but the more learning options we have available, the better :-)

Worker-wise, we have a page for those so we should probably just link to it and make any edits there as appropriate: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Workers

Otherwise, yes. :D I like it! I'll take a think about what else might be useful and come back to this post, I think.
