I have searched for an installation guide (building from svn source), but I could not find anything on the official mumble webpages. I think a [[Building from Source]] guide would be a good idea, because the last binary release is a little bit old and there are already many external HOWTOs which try to describe this procedure but they are not up-to-date. A [[Server HOWTO]] would also be nice. Oh, I see there are already articles like [[Configuring Murmur]] and [[Running Murmur]], but no page links to them.
 
Maybe you can design the main page more clearly like [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki] or [http://wiki.cookie-craft.de/en/index.php/Main_Page]. -- [[User:Xylo|Xylo]] 09:09, 20 June 2007 (PDT)

I couldn't agree more. And of course the should be displayed in a somewhat organized way. On a sidenote: The mainpage is not editable by "normal" users, i can see that this may be on purpose, because of Spam protection, but calls to use/contribute to the wiki, as heared in the forums, make not that much sense if the pages are not linked in.
 
 
 
No specific clue for the layout but here are some examples:
 
 
 
=== Installing ===
 
* Building from Source: [[Building_from_Source]]
 
* Dev Tools: [[Development_Tools]]
 
 
 
=== Server Setup ===
 
* Server Coniguration: [[Configuring_Murmur]]
 
* Running the Server: [[Running_Murmur]]
 
* Init Skript: [[Murmur_Init_Script]]
 
* ACL & Groups: [[ACL and Groups]]
 
 
 
=== Client Setup ===
 
* Advanced Client Configuration: [[Advanced_client_configuration]]
 
* Supported Games: [[Games]]
 
* Client Problems: [[Problems]]
 
 
 
=== Misc ===
 
* Commercial_Hosting: [[Commercial_Hosting]]
 
* Errors: [[Connection_Failed]]
 
 
 
== Re:  Please add some important links on the main page... ==
 
I created [[Installing Mumble]] so most important information about installing is in one page. Maybe it's useful to add it to the main page, or replace the current links (building) with it (the page already includes links to the building pages). As it is now it may appear that you '''have''' to compile mumble and that there are no binaries available.
 
And there is a little typo in Server configuration (f missing)

I have seen many people, who use Windows x64, are completely new to Mumble and download the development snapshot, without knowing that his is not recommended for new users.
I still think more links are necessary. Most of the pages don't get much attention. So the main page doesn't get filled with a bunch of links, I suggest including a link to [[Special:Allpages|All pages]]. That will put it in plain view of everyone instead of hidden in the "[[Special:Specialpages|Special pages]]" link on the left menu where I'm sure a large majority of people don't know about it. --[[User:Pilot 51|Pilot 51]] 06:20, 11 October 2007 (PDT)

Please make it more clear for newbies, that they should download the stable version.

Possible solutions:
 +
* Remove the dev snapshot links from the table and move them to a sub page.
 +
* Make an optical difference between links to the stable and the dev snapshot.
 +
* In the row of Windows x64, in the column Stable, place a link to 1.2.9 or use a row-span between the table cells.

: We will not link to the all pages page. That would be way too much unuseful information for pretty much all users. Instead, we should make the main page include the important links in a categorized manner. -[[User:Kissaki0|Kissaki]]

The links are broken on the mainpage.
  
A lot people request links for 3rd Party Applications on IRC and forum. It would be very helpful, when they can find a link to the 3rd Party Applications page on the Main Page.

It will not land on the mainpage. Could be added to a different page on this wiki though, that talks about latency/latency comparison. -Kissaki 14:29, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Issue: new users download dev snapshot by mistake

I have seen many people, who use Windows x64, are completely new to Mumble and download the development snapshot, without knowing that his is not recommended for new users. Please make it more clear for newbies, that they should download the stable version. Possible solutions:

  • Remove the dev snapshot links from the table and move them to a sub page.
  • Make an optical difference between links to the stable and the dev snapshot.
  • In the row of Windows x64, in the column Stable, place a link to 1.2.9 or use a row-span between the table cells.
