DA forum revision needed - Wiki req'd

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm willing to open the wiki.

is anyone willing to work on it?

Say the word. Make me an offer to work on setting it up, and I'll give you the password. Then a week later ;) we can remove the password protection.

Right? :D

Jeff
 
Please send me an email to the address in my sig, and I'll open it up to you tomorrow (I want to go to bed now; I've been at my desk since 6am and it's now almost 11pm).

I did...this is beginning to remind me of dealing with government.....perhaps there is some big form we need to complete....or provide testaments to our certificiations.

Take a peek at http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page The guys that volunteered to "run" it have done a nice job.

I am also willing to help with the wiki, if you'd like..
 
I've been incredibly busy; I'll search today for requests and give folk the password who've asked for it.

Hey Jeff,

I don't want to push you or put you under more pressure than you apparently are already, but if you've already searched for requests you probably missed mine ;)
 
Actually I'm awaiting an email response from someone before I open it up; I'm afraid too many people at one time may be a bit much, so I'm waiting for information on how to control access through the wiki so I don't have to allow all access to everyone.

Anyone know?

Well, you know I responded (g)

When I set up a wiki, I set up a private forum area for the folks that had voluneered to man the wiki....I stayed out of the discussions unless they asked for something that the server and/or the wiki couldn't do.

I think they did a good job.

I'd suggest the same thing be done for the DA wiki.....and if DA couldn't provide a private forum, you could...since you house the wiki. I'd offer space for thet type of forum, but my experience tells me that the offer would be not be taken up.

It's easy enough to do....a matter of seconds, or maybe mintues for us old guys.:D
 
I'm incredibly busy these days but will, if someone writes me (email, not a post) on Sunday, March 2nd, I'll set up the forum.

I'll be talking with the wiki 'chief' volunteer within the next day or two about how to best open it up. I really do want this to move forward. If you've noticed that I sometimes go over a week without posting lately you'll know how busy I am.

I didn't email, since I suggested the idea. Have to assume that no one else did. Based on what I see here, I have to assume that the wiki concept is dead in the water.
 
I can't really follow it anymore. Is there a wiki? Where is it? Why can't I work on it (it's a WIKI! it's meant to be edited by users..) Should there be a forum? Etc.

Anyway, if there is need for a wiki or a forum, I can set up one too, if you like to. I'm not that busy ;)

There is a wiki....it's password protected. so of little use to the community at this time. I suggested a forum for those that had the password so that we could discuss how to set up the wiki.

Although wiki's are normally "wide open", some are set up with limitiations on additions/edits because of the large number of entries that may not be factual.

Start one... hopefully folks will use it.

Frankly, I'm tired of waiting for Jeff's wiki.
 
I just registered dawiki.info and added a MediaWiki installation there.
Someone who wants to volunteer to initiate the startup? Please give me a mail on [email protected]

I contacted Jeff several times about the Wiki and even offered to be the lead on it, but it's gone nowhere. I'm glad to see that somebody has something up and running. :) So, is this going to be the official DA Wiki? If so, I'll begin adding some content.

When is it "the official DA Wiki"? I haven't contacted Jeff nor the DA crew about this (yet).. I suppose they read this topic as well sometime..
But as far as I know this is the only active and running wiki about DA. :)
