Title: Wiki s
Post by: redstu on January 28, 2008, 01:06:42 pm
Can this forum support wiki's?

Pistonheads have one for ferry crossings so it makes it easy to see if you are on a popular crossing or perhaps travelling alone!

So if it can support one and someone knows how to start it off it would be a good idea to start one for crossings and perhaps convert the "campsite" thread.

Editing the PH wiki was very easy.

I have no idea. We're restricted with what we can do as all admin is carried out by Lennaerts, and has to be agreed by Dave Davies (Grand Fromage)first. There were a number of improvements suggested last year but nothing new yet. I may be meeting DD in the next few weeks and will raise these questions again.

I strongly support the Wiki idea - It would also make the CA Guide Project a lot easier, because all authors could do work on the text directly online.

Cheers

Werner

I'm not entirely sure what a Wiki is, but if some of the useful information could be retained, rather than lost in the depths of these threads, its got my vote

I have used the PH wiki,s and like Red Stu, found it easy to use.
It is just like a spread sheet.see link

Although the wiki from Brian's link contains a spreadsheet, a wiki is not just a spreadsheet. The biggest and most well known wiki is wikipedia.
Quote from: wikipedia.com
A wiki is essentially a database for creating, browsing, and searching through information.

More info on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki

And I definately support the use of wiki's here, it would be of great use :)

Interesting  - I noticed NickLiv is on the Tuesday sailing on the PH wiki, but on Wednesday on the Final Campsite Decision thread  ???

It's a good idea I reckon, good to know who else may be on your crossing  ;)

That is because nickliv is an idiot.

Wednesday it is.
