I'll second fouvry on this :) I found the existing docs for emacs-wiki
and planner-mode to be somewhat lacking and less than intuitive for
someone just starting out.
Actually using the modes isn't difficult, but my experience with
Wiki's in general are via a web-only interface which pretty much
provides you with a definite "starting point". From the main wiki
page you can then kind of carve out your own area of the wiki.
The thing that most attracts me to emacs-wiki is that I tend to write
a lot of documentation (I'm a sysadmin) for my networks and systems.
The consumers of this documentation vary drastically from "user docs"
to "sysadmin docs" to even "just-for-me docs". As a result, the
top of each doc directory might be in a completely different place.
Were I to be doing this in tradition wikis, I would have completely
separate wikis set up, possibly on completely different web servers.
I found the initial idea of emacs-wiki enticing because now I could
write interconnected docs without resorting to writing html :)
However, I couldn't find where to "begin". IOW, where/how do I set
the 'top' of my wiki, and how do I do things like publish them to
html.
Some of this can be gleaned either by reading the available info
docs, but there was some stuff I couldn't figure out even looking at
the list code (which, I admit, I'm no good at reading anyway :)
So, a manual, or even a wiki on how to get started with and use
emacs-wiki and planner modes would be most welcome, especially if it
could compare the use of a traditional wiki with how you would
accomplish things using emacs-wiki.
