Testing Waters: VX Wiki

[Moncha]

That is what the intention of having the VX Knowledgebase and the How To's but I could never get it to take off properly.

I'll support what ever the masses want. If you need a place to host, we'll make room for it.

Yes, I think it is a great idea. BUT, I don't think we need to reinvent the wheel. PlanetIsuzoo already has a ZuZu wiki, the VX section is messed up however.

I sent a PM to Tad about it today. Hopefully he will reply and let me know what's up with the VX section. Once it's fixed, we can (should) all just contribute to it there.

Agreed on not reinventing the wheel, but keep in mind that we probably need to take it a step further and have the community choose ONE (1) of these options to use exclusively to reduce any confusion when folks do Google searches.

It seems there is more interest for a wiki than I originally had thought.

I understand the concerns of having just one wiki to lessen the confusion. I'm not trying to "step" on anyone’s toes about putting one up. It is not my intentions at all. I just like building websites, learning new things. I've had the wiki up and down contemplating whether I should or not over at VXLounge for over a year now. But after seeing some other automotive wiki's out there, I just had to do one.

The one I am working on, is running on the latest version of Mediawiki, and running some decent extensions (plug-ins) to further customize the layout and available content that may be used. Some of which you all have become accustomed to because of Wikipedia. I am working on a “bridge” of some sort to combine your existing username from VXLounge (think. yearly calendar voting) with the wiki so there will not be multiple log ins to both sites. That is my final goal.

I would really like to take charge, or crack the door open for this endeavor, and hope that all of you old and new members will buy in and actually help with the content.

In about a week, I will go ahead and release the link to the wiki, I just need a little more time to work out the template and a couple other things to get the ball rolling.

p.s. Moncha, again, my intentions is not to step on your toes. I'm in no way trying to replace what this site has provided the Family for years before I even joined. VXinfo is always the very first site I visit every day. And probably will be for as long as I own my VX.
