Improvement:

1. List where the "ini" file is--or at least give some hint. ("The ini file is called sabnzbd.ini and is in the SABNZBD folder within your %LOCALAPPDATA% folder" would suffice. I understand the concept of "if they can't figure it out, they shouldn't be installing it" but it is basic documentation 101 not to make people waste time determining a program's arbitrary nomenclature and settings locations.

2. Make it more clear that the helper service needs to be installed for automatic startup--and reference it earlier in the instructions--not AFTER the "start-stop" and "update" commands which most people don't need if they got to this page to simply install SABNZBD as a always-on service, and thus skim over (don't need to do that, so I'm done I guess). So the actual, necessary Helper part gets missed--as can be seen by the many confused forum posters out there wondering why it didn't start automatically. There's even a sentence in the Helper section that says "The service SABHelper will be created automatically when installing the service" which is extremely misleading and ambiguously stated--it's not at all clear if the Helper must be installed or not.

There's a minor grammatical error in the 'Notes' section.

"Instead of listing all possible categories, you may simple use TV*."

should probably read as:

The new feature host_whitelist is currently automatically populated with <hostname>, so that requests to http://server:8080/ still work.
This should probably be expanded to <hostname>, <hostname>.<searchsuffix>, so that requests to http://server.domain:8080/ still work.

• how do you make changes to sab wiki offline to know what they look like/work?
  as trying to make any changes 'offline' its a royal pain as the header/footer/layout is not loaded..
  looking online people mention of installing ruby+jekyll/gollum to work on github wiki pages offline before pushing... but I failed to get this working on windows (which apparently is a known issue on getting gollum installed due to a ruby dependency that doesnt like windows)

On windows you get the following warning:

You don't have the C version of NameMapper installed! I'm disabling Cheetah's useStackFrames option as it is painfully slow with the Python version of NameMapper. You should get a copy of Cheetah with the compiled C version of NameMapper.
  "\nYou don't have the C version of NameMapper installed! "

The C version of NameMapper for Windows is not included in Cheetah v2 (which is required by SABnzbd) but is included in Cheetah v3.

Having the user pip instal cheetah3 in addition to pip install cheetah will get them the optional C version of NameMapper without having to compile it or get it from an alternate source.

  I've decided to skip, since I had epel-release active anyway

• The dependencies are missing Python-Cheetah

• Step 7 has a command (cat) in the first line of the code. Copying the text obviously does not work. Point being, this is not noob friendly

ubuntu 16.04 will throw an error upon usage of the command:
'add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/ppa' w/ or w/o the sudo command/root account

you have to install:
apt-get install software-properties-common and then the add-apt-repository command will work

not sure what the deal is but it is what it is

If you miss the error that it throws back at you after 'add-apt-repository ppa:jcfp/ppa' and continue with the rest of the commands then it install an old version of SABNZBd (7.20) presumably from canonical's official repositories.

Once we ship a new build several things need to have their caches flushed. This should be automated, or at least be made push-button in a way that doesn't require Cloudflare access.

When I updated it tonight, I had to do the following:

• CF Cache Clear https://resources.sabnzbd.org/releases/json
• Confirm that RC1 shows in the json
• CF Cache Clear https://sabnzbd.org/downloads
• See that it doesn't work and is still showing the wrong result.
• CF Cache Clear EVERYTHING
• Refresh and hey it finally works now

I'm not really sure what the surgical approach needs to be. We can cut the cache time on the json down from 24h to like 1h or something, then that part's automated, but I'm still not super certain why it sabnzbd.js wasn't re-pulling the json.

Does $.getJSON use some extra layer of cache I'm not aware of?

Don't we want some analytics on the page? Like Google Analytics.
Or CloudFlare does that?

Per: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/contact

SourceForge.net is our distribution platform.

This is no longer true.. so we prob should update it to reflect GH now..

Now with that said, there is still benefit for having sourceforge as others that always went this route to get updates/discover through it... So maybe we should still put the non-beta's here (thus we need to add 1.2.x/2.x) and then just nuke the beta folder? Also we should prob add verbiage to direct people from SF to GH.
