Testing Waters: VX Wiki

[Knigh7s]

I've been working on a VX related Wiki using Mediawiki (same system Wikipedia uses).

My goal is to have a place where you can get the information you need as fast as possible, without having to search through hundreds of threads and banter just to find what you need. For an example, you are in the middle of doing a lift but you get into a small bind, if you have a shop computer, you can pull it up within minutes or even print it out for quick reference.

It of course would have to be a community effort to update/add information (tutorials, specs, images, etc.)

My reasoning behind this is, I was looking for some info on a 350z for a friend and found a website 350z Tech that utilizes a wiki, I was able to pull up the info I was looking for within a matter of minutes instead of having to search through their forums. I thought to myself that this would be awesome for our beloved VX Community! So I started working on one a couple weeks ago. This is where you all would come in…

So I was wondering how many of you out there would actually want/benefit from a VX Wiki?

For those that do, and would like to help me add content and get permission from those that have tutorials and information just to get it started, shoot me a PM and I'll send you the web address, especially those that know the wiki syntax.

ya that would be great!!!

it would also help keeping everything in one place. i find a lot of times that i need some info on an install and i end up not being able to find the information because the thread is so old it 'dissapears' off the map...

i already have a few 'write-ups' on different things stored on my computer, both a mixture of my own work and others that i thought would be handy to keep around..

please let us know if this materializes

That is what the intention of having the VX Knowledgebase and the How To's but I could never get it to take off properly.

I'll support what ever the masses want. If you need a place to host, we'll make room for it.

Yes, I think it is a great idea. BUT, I don't think we need to reinvent the wheel. PlanetIsuzoo already has a ZuZu wiki, the VX section is messed up however.

I sent a PM to Tad about it today. Hopefully he will reply and let me know what's up with the VX section. Once it's fixed, we can (should) all just contribute to it there.

Agreed on not reinventing the wheel, but keep in mind that we probably need to take it a step further and have the community choose ONE (1) of these options to use exclusively to reduce any confusion when folks do Google searches.
