Wiki?
« on: March 01, 2009, 05:08:30 PM »
I've been a wiki user since ~2005, and my brain just had a beautiful child.

The TWC Today Wiki.

A lot of people will likely be resistant to this because anyone can edit a wiki. Not always. If you change a quick few lines of code, you can restrict editing like (*snaps*) that.

I think it'd be worth a try on a different, unrelated site for now and then exporting it here if it works. I have MediaWiki in mind (I'm an expert at setting it up), but does anyone have any other wiki software ideas?

Thanks! I'll see if I can use a free subdomain to get started.

Your beautiful child was already birthed by Matt at TWCC. They're supposed to make a Wiki for TWCC, so I'm not sure I want to do that. I'm trying to keep TWCT as individualized as possible. I don't want it to seem like a clone of TWCC.

Ah. Never saw that...sorry. I'll just make a fan-type wiki for TWC, not branded by TWC Today.

The wiki was a bad idea for me. It just confused a lot of people. So I'll be doing away with it and instead organizing content in a more simple way.
