Title: The Amiga Wiki
Post by: alx on August 18, 2003, 11:23:02 AM

After a couple of weeks of testing by various people, the Amiga Wiki is now ready for it's official opening.  For those of you who don't know, a Wiki is a system of linked pages, where anyone can add, read or modify the pages.  We currently have over 200 pages.

To enter the Wiki, please go here (http://yourdreamnet.co.uk/amigacentre/wiki.htm) first for a quick introduction.

I've got the ability to set admins and editors, but hopefully I won't have to use it - anyone can "roll back" pages if there are problems.

I agree that some moderation will probably be needed - Wikipedias work best when everyone is working towards a common goal.  The amiga currently has two separate groups, neither of which would shed any tears if the other one vanished without a trace.  For example, I imagine the entries on "History of MorphOS" and "I am Amiga Club" will get a lot of frenzied editing by members of both sides.
