I think those suggestions sound reasonable. Anyone has the ability to create a wiki account and start editing right away. Personally, I would love to see our wiki get converted over to MediaWiki at some point to make editing even easier and cleaner than it is now. I know Rogean already has a test MediaWiki up that will let you log right into it using your already existing EQEmu Forum account. So, people would be more likely to make changes when needed without even having to register for it
I only run a Linux server now, and haven't had to set it up from scratch in over a year, so the Linux setup guide for Debian (written mostly by AndMetal and myself) is missing some of the stuff for the new SVN setup and all of that, but still has most of the useful info one would need for setting up a Linux server. It has been a couple of years since I ran a Windows server, so I have never messed with the wikis for them. The biggest problem for writing a good guide for Windows is that to do it right, you need a fresh install of Windows without MySQL or Perl or anything like that on it. So, I would need to do a fresh Windows install and then step-by-step server install and keep good notes on it just to update a few things in the wiki. That is just too much extra work for me personally atm. If I happen to do another fresh Windows install though, I plan to go through and update steps. Another problem with making a wiki for it is that there are multiple versions of Windows currently in use, including XP, Vista, 7, Server 2000/2003, and 64 bit versions of many of them. Each of those versions is likely to have minor differences when it comes to setting up and it would take quite a while to work up perfect guides for each one and then to maintain each guide for any changes that happen in the setup process over time.
Even though the guides are not fully up-to-date, I would say that probably 80-90% of the info is still useful and relevant for setting up a server from scratch. The biggest change was when the SVN was added, but it isn't very hard to figure that part out on Windows just by installing Tortoise SVN and updating the EQEmuServer folder, or simply downloading the binaries and running them. Once you know how to use one SVN, the other google SVNs for PEQ DB and Maps are fairly easy to figure out.
I am all for making things as simple and easy as possible for the community to help keep it rolling and keep new members coming in and getting started. But, IMO, if someone can't get a server running with the details provided in the various Wiki pages and in the forums though, they are probably going to have a hard time running their own decent server for a notable length of time unless they are extremely dedicated to it.
If all else fails and they simply cannot figure out how to setup a server manually, I think that Leslamarch's auto server setup (AKA AX Classic Repack) is supposed to be very easy to setup. You can read more about that here:
