Wiki - Improving Documentation - Raion - 07-23-2020
I have written Onyx2, Origin 2000 and Origin 3000 articles over the last 24 hours. We do have a problem, however:
1. I need screenshots or images for many articles. This will help demonstrate and improve our production values.
2. Some system images are poor quality.
I have had to ask some redditors and others for use of their images, but it would be nice to get more professionally done images (and more in general) so we can better help new users.
I am also going to be finally documenting more of the MIPSPro compiler, correcting old info (A lot of that article was carried over from Nekochan/PreterHuman and turns out is inaccurate), and update the wiki with compiling guides for:
GCC 4.7.4
GCC 5
GCC 6
I may do others if there's demand, but GCC 8 or 9 doesn't really offer much of what I need and I've not found any real performance gains, and I'm not compiling a shitload of C++14 or C++20 stuff so I have little incentive to overheat my office for the hot summer.
If you can help out or have ideas for articles, I may start offering small rewards for people to pitch in. Small perks, if you will. I need some time to think it over.

Dodoid's Onyx article on the old Mediawiki is mostly back where it was, I have to port a few tables and I need some more SGI Onyx images for it.
I will be probably doing some of my own screenshots for articles and such, but I welcome some people to help spread the load out. I want to also make some development tutorials.
New installation tutorials as well, for FreeBSD, NetBSD, illumos, and more.

Onyx article is patched up and we have a new article:
https://wiki.irixnet.org/Transportation-of-SGIs
This is for talk of loading systems into vehicles and stuff. Feel free to upload images, details and such of how to transport these beasts safely.

If anyone's got highres Origin 200 pics of units that aren't damaged or shredded into pieces, I'm looking for them. That's a big barrier for me in getting an article out about the system.

CB_HK added an amazing magazine-esque cover image for the Indigo.

I see that there are still no pictures for the Challenge S, I would be happy to provide some! Not sure how to upload or contribute that though

I have plans to stage an image soon, as I have a bunch of 'em. Just gotta get the time.
But basically, you can make an account and add it to the file gallery, and then copy the basic template I use (first image is always 300px wide and goes off to the right) so you can display the challenge s image.
