Dear Listers,
I have added a new feature to the Email List Forums at Matronics called a
Wiki. What's "Wiki" you ask? A Wiki is a website. You go to it and browse
just like you would any other web site. The difference is, you can change
it. You can put anything you want on this web site without having to be a
web designer or even being the owner. You can write a new page just like
writing an email message on the BBS. You don't need to send it off to
anyone to install on the site. It is kind of like a Blog (weblog) in which
anyone can post. Here is a great page on where the term Wiki came from and
what it means in the context of a website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
So on to the new Matronics Email List Wiki... I've created this site for
anyone from any of the Email Lists to use. I envision that there are a
great many things that can be added to this new Wiki since there are always
new and interesting tidbits of useful information traversing the Lists.
Off the main Matronics Email List Wiki page, you will find a link called
"Community Portal". Here you will find more links to stubs for all the
various Lists found at Matronics (and a few other links). Brian Lloyd and
others from the Yak-List have already begun adding content in a number of
areas. Bob Nuckolls of AeroElectric fame has added a great article on
"Ageing Aircraft".
I have discussed the new Matronics Email List Wiki with Tedd McHenry and
Dwight Frye of the RV Wiki Site and they have decided to merge their site
over onto the new Matronics Wiki server giving everyone a single source for
information on RV building and flying! This migration will begin today and
you should be able to find all of the content currently found at
www.rvwiki.org moved over to the Matronics Wiki within a few days.
To make edits to the Matronics Wiki, you will need to have a login account
on the Matronics Wiki and I have disabled anonymous edits. This protects
the Wiki site from automated spam engines and other nuisances that could
compromise the data at the site.
Signing up for an account is fast and easy and begins by clicking on the
"create an account or log in" link in the upper right hand corner of any
page. Note that you do not have to have a login or be logged in to view any
of the content.
The Matronics Email List Wiki is YOUR Wiki! It is only as useful as the
content found within. The concept of the Wiki is that the people the use it
and update it. If you've got an interesting procedure for doing something,
MAKE A WIKI PAGE ON IT! You can even upload pictures. Saw something
interesting at a flyin? MAKE A WIKI PAGE ON IT! Don't be shy, this is YOUR
site to share information with others with similar interests.
Here is a users guide on using the Wiki implemented at Matronics:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents This gives a lot of great
information on how to get started editing pages.
And finally, here is the URL for the Matronics Email List Wiki:
http://wiki.matronics.com
Brian Lloyd has written an excellent introduction to Wikis on the front
page. I encourage you to read it over, then drill into the "Community
Portal" and HAVE FUN!!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle
