Hi all,

Most of you already know that Club Arnage publishes an annual free guide to the 24h of Le Mans, the last editions can still be downloaded at http://www.clubarnage.com/caguide/download.html.

In the past there were not only CA members who contributed to this guide, but also many people from other LM-related forums like Ten-Tenths, Pistonheads and Beermountain, and many of you supplied valuable information and pictures. All this information was merged manually into Word documents by me, forwarded then to a proofreader – meanwhile new information came up … , so I had to merge it again, send it out for proofreading again , meanwhile I had a beer or 2 or 3 and some files got lost – and so on – Grin you can imagine that this was not very easy to co-ordinate and a very error-prone procedure.

To make the editing process easier, we will try a new approach for the 2010 Guide. We have installed a Club Arnage Le Mans Wiki at www.clubarnage.com/wiki - enabling anybody to edit the guide directly.  About 2 weeks prior to the race I will take the contents from the Wiki and generate the annual CA Guide to the 24h of Le Mans ready for download from it – that’s the plan.

To edit the Wiki, you need to become a CA member first  a painless procedure which takes just a few minutes -  -that's if you aren't a member already!  However, If you don’t want to become a CA member or you don’t feel comfortable editing this Wiki by yourself, you are still welcome to send your contributions and suggestions by email to president@lemanszone.de - I will take care of it.

I hope I have encouraged you to share your know-how with all the other Le Mans fans.

Cheers

To make life a little easier for everyone I've added a "wiki" button the main button bar above.  You will note also that I added an ACO button too.   angel angel

Wow, just a couple of hours online and we already have the first contribution. Thanks to dukla2000 for updating the Arnage campsite section!

Did I mention that every contributor will get a mention in the "hall of fame" of the next CA-Guide? angel

That sounds a good idea. Should help ensure a dynamic guide just as long as the nutters keep away and werner keeps a firm grasp on the edit button!!

Not really we've been working on this since last October.  (and talking about it since two years ago.)
Though things have been a bit hectic this last week.

Werner, again another brilliant idea


Sounds like you owe him a beer Bill.

Indeed, I spotted that last night and wondered how long it had been there without me noticing.

I must admit I had a job finding it. The 'button' is actually a tab under the scrolling message.

Well done guys, good idea.
