In Response To: Re: Wait a sec! (HolyMcGibblets)

: If we decide to go ahead on the Wikipedia plan, then it would be proper to
: contact the person running the MaraWiki and see if we can jump aboard or
: whatnot.

That's the thing about Wiki's though. So you don't like the way the articles are written there? Rewrite new ones! Or at least thoroughly modify the old ones. I've seen some articles on there that were horrible innacurate and I went and half-rewrote one or two of them.

You also don't *have* to contact the host: the whole point of a Wiki is for the community to improve it. There are ways in place to manage advertisers, spammers, etc... what Wikipeople call "vandals". I'd suggest that you look around the development portions of Wikipedia (a Wiki is not a Wikipedia - Wikipedia is just a huge, probably the largest, Wiki project out there). See http://www.wikipedia.org/.

All in all I'd suggest that a Wiki-based approach is definitely the best option, and since there's *already* a MaraWiki out there (http://zdome.net/wiki/index.php) that's *already* still on the news page of M.B.O. (cause Doughnut never updates anymore), you should all just use that. Go, read, look for dead links, fill them in, make corrections (there's a lot of slightly erroneous info on there). What you're talking about already exists, it just needs more people to participate.
