[arch-general] Is it proper that I add some material about raspberry pi on Arch over the Archwiki?
Guys some time ago I got a Pi. I know there is much to be done with it, so far I`ve installed arch on it, running a seed box at the moment. The idea would use the power of archwiki to have people sharing information and having cool ideas for raspberry pi. I`ve seen guys doing great stuff like a solar powered py running SETI@Home, mods to run pinball machines and so on. But all this information is still scattered on the Internet making it a bit harder to people just starting up. For instance: http://www.raspberrypi-tutorials.co.uk/ http://elinux.org/RPi_Tutorials Just as example are quite scattered regarding format. So maybe we could use the community to build a great wiki. The http://archlinuxarm.org/ seems to have no wiki. (Do they use https://wiki.archlinux.org/ ?) Could one please give me some pointers of how could I start it? I tried to get some info on archlinuxarm.org website but so far no answer. http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=3992 Hope this can work. Regards, vfbsilva

http://elinux.org/RPi_Hub seems to be a good place.

Yes, they link to Arch Linux wiki and tell people to use it for the general (non-ARM) info.
Could one please give me some pointers of how could I start it?
We already have a Czech article https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Raspberry_(%C4%8Cesky) If you want to create an article, start by reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Help:Editing and the links provided in the 'Related' section (top right).

Just a small sidenote here: archlinux does not support arm. The archlinux-arm project is a compleatly independent project and is not supported by archlinux at all, and a disclaimer for this should probably be put on the wiki page. On the other hand, 64bit support in arch started out as a community project too, so you never know what the future will hold :)

Yup. The Czech R-Pi article I linked to has a note at the very top that says (in English ;P) "Support for the ARM architecture is provided on http://archlinuxarm.org/"
