Netduino References on Wikipedia

1

Netduino does not appear to have as much mention or presence on Wikipedia compared to other single board computers. Has anyone considered updating Wikipedia to include Netduino? Might be a good way to promote it and garner more interest and activity in the community.

Wow, not a single mention! Netduino has an entry on its own page, but it’s a pretty lackluster addition.

Interested in adding it to the single board page, and/or upgrading the Netduino page? We could use all the hands we can get on this stuff!

Sadly, the Netduino 3 hardware wasn’t even on that page until I added it last weekend. I tried to line it up with the existing content, but it could really use a full rewrite.

I’m really glad you folks replied. I’m planning to add Netduino to the single board computer Wiki page. However, I wanted to get some feedback from this community before unilaterally taking this action. I’m putting together a spreadsheet of all the equivalent specs that are listed on that page. I am having a bit of difficulty finding some of the specs. Is there a place here in this community to post what I have so far? Others can check the accuracy or add more info before it gets posted to Wikipedia.

I really believe that Netduino is an undiscovered gem with a lot of potential, especially for programmers and hobbyists who have little experience with embedded systems but want/need an easy and familiar platform to get involved with IoT projects and tech.

I would suggest creating a google spreadsheet and sharing it with commenting turned on.

Very cool, thanks for that!

I’ve updated the Netduino Wikipedia page to reflect the latest hardware and development info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netduino

BTW: Do we want to keep the Agent stuff on this wiki page?

Thanks for the update to looks great!

I think the Agent Watch should be on a secret labs page, but one doesn’t exist. In any case, it shouldn’t be on the Netduino page.

Thanks for the updates, by the way!
