Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Wikipedia like psub building wiki
Jon - one of the most formidable challenges with bringing "gem" threads
out of the archives for inclusion in a Wiki will be the task of
re-writing them in a stand-alone format. For example, the thread we had
a while back on pressure vessel welding covered a lot of ground with a
handful of different contributors, so you could simply copy and paste
the whole thread (or link to it in the archives) in the Wiki, but
preferably a summary article would go in the Wiki covering all the major
points without a reader having to follow the conversation from start to
finish. - the problem being that someone needs to volunteer for the task.

Alan,
I agree that capturing data from the mailing list is a perfect use for
the tool. It's best if that work is spread out among many, both to
recognize important things to keep and also to spread the maintenance
load. I have a bit more work to do on the interface to make it easy
for people to add content but can then make it available to members
through their accounts. Non-members could send material to members
who could then add it.
Some user interface feedback would be appreciated as well to make sure
the content was indexed properly and easy to find. Categories seems
to be the best solution with a search option. If you have any
suggestions, or want to "own" this part, send me mail.
Jon
