| 461003 | 2006-06-06 09:21:00 | Regarding closed access what about this? moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de Moin Based Wiki -- it looks like a normal site to regular users and a wiki to editors. this means that regular users that dont have much knowledge about wikis wont get confused. |

| 461005 | 2006-06-06 10:08:00 | I wouldn't mind writting some stuff for the wiki.... | Prescott (11) | ||
| 461006 | 2006-06-06 10:26:00 | Same here, just gotta remember that not everyone is a seasoned user when it comes to computers... :xmouth: | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
| 461007 | 2006-06-06 10:53:00 | There is no reason that a FAQ section has to be hosted or maintained by PressF1 like it is now any more than ImageF1 and ChatF1 are. As long as it is made clear that it is not affiliated with PF1 then there is nothing stopping anyone creating such a FAQ Wiki. The reason I suggested hosting it on the PF1 server is that it could be integrated with the vBulletin user database. It could then be set up so only PF1 members can edit. That way it would be (mostly) free of spam, subject to the same terms of use as the PF1 forum and easy to use - only one user / pass to bother with. |

| 461008 | 2006-06-06 11:36:00 | Wouldnt closed access be better? - with people who can be trusted to contribute sensibly let to edit? You have a Good point there DanielF :) Also having a Press F1 FAQ Wiki sounds like a Good idea :) I can also help with the hosting/getting the domain name or just general looking after it i.e.: upgrading the Wiki so it does not get hacked, removing any spam links/ comments etc… or writing some stuff for the wiki as well. |

One problem with that is people would join PressF1 just to Spam it & make more work for the PressF1 Mods. Plus security issues i.e. like what would happen if the Wiki got hacked? PressF1 could also get hacked/loss data?? & database size / disk space available & CPU usage From PressF1 could the server cope with both PressF1 & the Wiki?? My :2cents: |

| 461010 | 2006-06-06 11:45:00 | Im sure you could make it so that only the people that Bruce chooses to make the FAQ/Wiki can modify it..... | Prescott (11) | ||
| 461011 | 2006-06-06 11:54:00 | All excellent points. I guess I was hoping that the spam issue wouldn't be a problem - judging by the amount of people that join to spam PF1, I was assuming that the number who spam the wiki would be similar. Noting the server issue - what if only the authentication was handled by the PF1 server? When logging into FAQF1 the server would send an md5 hash of the user/pass to a script on the PF1 server which would reply valid/not valid. This would avoid the issue of PF1 being hacked, as only one PHP script would need to be vetted. Access to this script could also be limited to only the IP of the FAQF1 server. |

| 461012 | 2006-06-06 20:39:00 | I got bored last night and setup a media wiki .. wiki. Im in the middle of setting up the edits etc. Ill post a link for people to have a look and see what they think. Re the authenticiation issue. - Bruce et al are likely to be too busy to spend the required time on setting up the auth'ing with the PF1 server. The mods and maybe a few of the more responsible members of pressf1 could look at who gets access. As has been said above this doesnt need to be affiliated with IDG (much like ChatF1/ImageF1) |
