I guess if you had hundreds of users just demanding x and wanting y the attitude is only realistic. The about dialog still has enough place to thank every single contributor by name.

What would be the best place to start on the wiki? What article?

If you ask me, one of the general topics that really would help the most people is this:
jinxdone wrote:Switching parts of the config with the 'enable exclusive' action, this is what everybody wants to do but it still seems to puzzle some people.
and its interaction with the Task plugin of course.
Please post software-related questions in the forum - PMs will only be answered, if really private, thanks!

not to forget, that you can use the same button on the remote for multiple programs.

Although I must admit, that I did not get the general approach.
One plugin that triggers events (remote, keyboard) and one plugin that has action called when the event happens.

Is there any schedule on the handling of plugins?
I would write a Wiki article about the options of the HID plugin and what to try you don't get any events. Currently only Multitap has a description.

Any recommandations on tutorials on how to edit the wiki?

It will start with 0.3.8, but when 0.3.8 will be released, I can't say.

As most other parts of the project, where formatted descriptions are involved, the wiki uses reStructuredText:

Hmm, so I was playing with EG for a friend the other day, and again thinking about how there's so much unrealised potential in EG... Saw there've been some management changes...
