Default Add a 318ti wiki to the page?

After doing some reading on some Boxters i ran into this page http://boxster.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page and thought it would be a great thing if we could maybe put together something similar, it would take a bit of work but would def be something useful rather than searching archived data from the boards. What do you guys think?

We use wiki's at work and they're pretty useful. It'd be cool to have a wiki to refer to for the DIY's, torque specs, part numbers and other common diagnostic measures. But until that gets put in place, searching it is!

Do I have a volunteer?
I started one sometime ago but found it too much work.

Steve, do you know if there's a way to add/edit content here and there just like on Wikipedia? That way the wiki is generated by all the users, rather than just one. It would spread the work load and I could do it when I'm bored at work

Yes, anyone could edit. It's the same software wikipedia uses.
I originally wanted it so people could use their username and password from here, but I was not able to get it to work.

I'll try to get it to work over the weekend if there are people willing to help.

For me to integrate the wiki with the people's usernames, some usernames will need to be changed. The wiki does not allow spaces and certain characters. Only letters, numbers and underscore.

looking at it seems like a big setup mess lol. but once its set up i think it can only help. i definitely think it would be a useful tool.

I'm willing to help where I can. how far have you gotten?

And to the spaces thing, could you set it up so that people who have spaces in their name get changed to underscores or something for the wiki?

Not far.
I don't think spaces are an issue anymore with the latest wiki version.
I'm still having a problem having people using the same username and password.
