ME ME ME

It would help a lot if more people put a link in their sig.

Also, I'm not sure some people know what a wiki is so we need to make it easy for those less talented on computers to understand what to do.

Whats a wiki?


andyharding - 17/6/07 at 07:50 PM

Taken from Wikipedia:-

A wiki is a website that allows visitors to add, remove, and edit content. A collaborative technology for organizing information on Web sites, the first wiki (WikiWikiWeb) was developed by Ward Cunningham in the mid-1990s. Wikis allow for linking among any number of pages. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, is probably the best known wiki.

as an example, its andys site, but i wrote the section on BECs. Iank did the bit on heaters etc. Anyone can modify it, either to expand or correct - just click the edit tag at the top. The system is open to abuse from graffiti, but overall its an excellent way to managa info.

On this subject - I'd just like to thank everyone for their great contributions so far

Keep it up!

Hi Andy,

Cause you're hosting this, you're PC must 24-7 be availble

And never stop with hosting!,
And if you're earning money with all the info, share it with us

lol

The site is hosted on a server in a Telehotel in Manchester. Is that "available" enough for you 0

The site isn't making any money. If it does how about I promise to keep the site free forever and not keep popping up a message asking you to donate?

Really must update the pages I entered, but got the impression not many people are using it, certainly not many people putting data on last time I looked.

The mechanics of editing a page aren't difficult, but getting the information together takes a while if you are presenting references rather than just asserting facts.

Maybe I should write up a 'best' design pages based on my personal biases and see if that heats up some edits

Sounds like a good idea to me

I'm wondering if a "new article" competation every month with something like an ipod as a prize would encourage people too?
