New WIKI - USE IT

Postby Uncle Jesse » Wed Jan 26, 2005 1:28 pm

OK folks, check it out, the new WIKI. Register and you can edit any pages or content. Please register and lets get it going. I started it off with a few links. Hit "Edit" to edit any page.

Click a link, say the "ethanol" link. Now you can hit "edit" and you can edit _any_ of the information.

To add a new link do this:

[[topic]]

such as:

[[absynthe]]

so your line in the text might be:

One type of spirit is [[absynthe]].

Once you save the page you'll see your new link which will say "absynthe". if you follow that new link you created you'll get a blank page. put in all your info on absynthe and save it. Now there is a page on absynthe which can be referenced anywhere in the wiki with [[absynthe]].

understand?

look at the main page and hit "edit" to see.

Cool

This thing is awesome. We'll easily be able to use this for recipes as well as anything else we wish to add which has to deal with alcohol.

I went in and typed a few tests under my name to play around with the software.

What is the structure going to be? Is it a continuatlly evolving article with highlighted blue words which are links that people click on to get additional information? Or is it going to have tabbed headings for each differing article?

not sure on that yet. It will evolve, I suppose! as it grows we will have to adapt. i'm not good on the visual/presentation side but i'm good for content.

i've started populating some content...but of course, the references are practically limitless here.

I like it. It wont be too hard to figure out. I responded to one of your posts there, UncleJesse.

It will be nice to look up a recipe, try it out, respond to it, add variation, etc...

right

Postby Uncle Jesse » Wed Jan 26, 2005 5:25 pm

but they have to register and changes can be undone by the admin.

it relies on good will. it works, really, check:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

hit "random page", there is an unbelievable amount of useless info there.

we can do the same.

sure

Postby Uncle Jesse » Wed Jan 26, 2005 5:43 pm

i can certainly do that but i believe it's far more limited.

the WIKI has a bigger purpose. a sort of all-inclusive, ever-evolving FAQ.
