Some of the diagrams, renders, and schematics I have seen on this and other Wiki's look really nice and clean, What software should I use to generate primarily schematics for the wiki articles I'm writing?
I am running XP SP2 and not Linux, so I was just wondering what the common editor is or which is preferred for visual consistancy.
I'm also wondering if the 'drafting tool', whatever it is, will allow me to save things like say an inductor or transistor. So far I've had to sit for several hours tweaking and playing with Paint, and I'd really like something that would allow me to grab a schematic component, place it, then add some drawn lines to connect everything.
Thanks,
Matt

This one
is made with Proteus lite and took hardly any time at all to make.
This one was made in Xara Extreme
Render the bitmap at high resolution so that the picture does not have to be remade at a later time when higher resolution is needed.

Man those are beautiful! I'm going to learn how to use those programs, thanks Bjorn.

Maybe there's a minor error on the wiki?
Regarding the following page:
There is a link to ScanTesla which doesn't work, at least for someone like myself without an official account. The link passes the "action=edit" parameter to the server.
I did find the following directory to be available-

The link points to an article about ScanTesla, the problem is that no one has written the article yet. That is why it has the edit parameter, an article that does not exist can't be viewed, only created (edited).
I have created the article now and added the link.

How can you create a article? Does a mod need to create it?

Why does it say "Expand a stub today, help us grow!", when only registered users can edit anything?
also, I PM'd chris 8 days ago about registering and he said he would, but I haven't been registered yet...

When the wiki was open for everyone it filled up with spam faster than we could delete it.
I suggest you keep PMing Chris until he replies. If that does not help, try the priority email address.
Hopefully it will all be fixed in the next version of the forum software.

The spam bots were unbearably bad when registration was open for everyone. They would register by the dozens and wage long-term wars, continuously reverting content to ads, and switching to fallback accounts when accounts were deleted.
You're all registered now. In the future, if it's the start of the month, just keep PMing me every day or two -- I might have missed the new flag. If it's the end of the month, please just be patient. That's when work piles up for me, so I'm probably busy earning money to, among other things, keep the server on.

I got your PM, Thanks!
I just edited the shielding page, in the process of creating an electronegativity page.
Most of my knowledge is either chemistry or plasma speaker, so I hope it's not a problem if I mainly add chemistry stuff to pages? (where it's applicable)
