wiki Options

[BloodyStupidDave...]

Administrators,

Would it be possible to install a wiki on this site? I think it would be really useful for developing how-tos and gathering knowledge and information on our cars. Two examples that come to mind are an article on powered folding door mirrors (I think we pretty much know how to do it now but the info is scattered across a few threads) and enabling the water-cooled intercooler on the WRC (I don't think anyone has got it working the way Toyota intended, but people have unraveled some of the mystery).

If you want to post a how-to go ahead. If it's good enough it'll get stickied.

That's kinda missing the point. Wikis allow content to develop over time and allow many people to pool their information together in a coherent way. Simply put, wikis allow mass collaborative authoring.

Again I give the examples of power door mirrors where the information is just about all figured out now but where no one person knows all the info to write a how-to that covers all countries and the different wiring loom configurations that are out there; and the WRC water-cooled intercooler where perhaps a dozen members have little tit-bits of info that if documented all in one place might allow others to incrementally start figuring out how Toyota intended it should work.

bump.

Loving the software upgrade - keep finding little usability improvements . But it would be great to have a wiki feature on here. Even if it was just mediawiki and not integrate with the rest of the site for the moment.
