| 460993 | 2006-06-06 06:10:00 | After reading through some of the old FAQs (and the latest FAQ thread (pressf1.co.nz)), I would like to propose a change in the Press F1 FAQ system. Since most of these were written, a lot has changed - software has been updated, new technologies (and their related problems) are now available to the general user. I feel that the existing system doesn't do a good job of keeping track of these changes. I suggest that the entire FAQ section be replaced with a 'howto' wiki. The topics that really are 'frequently asked about' can be easily linked to from a single page. A wiki offers a much greater scope for change, and this way the knowledge contained in the FAQ section wouldn't ever go out of date. What do others think? |

| 460995 | 2006-06-06 06:51:00 | sounds good to me. | robsonde (120) | ||
| 460996 | 2006-06-06 07:15:00 | I like the idea too. The current format of the FAQ is very hard to maintain, and I think Bruce only does it when he has time and it is a very low priority. A Wiki or similar format that would allow a select group of people to edit the information to keep it up to date would be ideal. However, back to reality ... Bruce et al are very busy people, and making modifications like this would get a low priority. No harm suggesting it though. :) | Jen (38) | ||
| 460997 | 2006-06-06 07:22:00 | Does it really need to be done by Bruce etc. to get it started? If someone was happy to donate server space, it could be set up by someone else (with Chill & yourself as mods) and run from there until someone finds the time to tranfer it to the PF1 server. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 460998 | 2006-06-06 07:37:00 | That is one way of doing it. See what Bruce thinks of the whole idea. :) | Jen (38) | ||
| 460999 | 2006-06-06 07:38:00 | If the need arises i am able (and happy) to provide hosting etc | Dannz (1668) | ||
| 461000 | 2006-06-06 08:27:00 | 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. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 461001 | 2006-06-06 08:50:00 | Do you want this faq wiki to be a closed access or freely editable one? Or more to the point, can there BE a closed access wiki? |

| 461002 | 2006-06-06 09:15:00 | Wouldnt closed access be better? - with people who can be trusted to contribute sensibly let to edit? and it can be done: MediaWiki: meta.wikimedia.org Moin: moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de (also uses ACL's) |
