What I envisage is we run a quick       roll-call on the ng to determine who is "up for some hot wiki action"       (ahem) thereafter if any other people want to edit the wiki maybe       they'll have to introduce themselves to the ng first etc. I don't see       the need to make it totally open to the public as most of us here know       exponentially more about BR than the general public (although in SSR's       case he may well have forgotten what he knew...)              > Also if it helps I'm currently 'between jobs' so can commit some time       > to do mass updates to get the bulk of info transferred across from the       > other named sources.              Now that's what I'm talking about. I think a good first step would be to       take the existing FAQ and slamdunk it wholesale into a wiki page.       Thereafter we can start splitting it into sections, adding the new       content, remove the "What is the Internet?" sections, remove the errant       Deck-a-Rep nonsense...              > [Deity] knows, I spend most of my time playing       > games at the mo, so could do with something useful to do :)              That would be Hanuman. The original and still the best. 8 out of 10 cats       prefer him.              But, dang, there's some good games out at the moment... Crysis Warhead,       Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, GTA IV, CoD 5... ok so none of these actually pay       the mortgage but, well, dang...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
