Wiki Update Subforum?
« on: January 03, 2013, 02:41:22 PM »
I'd like to volunteer to help manage a sub-forum to help us, as a community, update the content of the Wiki.  Tom Bishop, I understand, does work on the wiki on a fairly regular basis, and his efforts are appreciated, I'd just like for there to be a sub-forum here where motivated members like myself can lend a hand with compiling information, organizing it, making outlines, expanding stubs into more fluent articles, and implementing those changes that the community approves.  I'm also an able writer, as are many of our other members, and I've done some wiki editing, so I can help in that regard as well if necessary.

This isn't an effort to seize some sort of control over the content here, let me emphasize that I want the content to be developed by the community, I just want to take the opportunity to organize the effort and get the wiki in better shape than it is currently.   I realize that there are discussion functions in the wiki itself, but I feel like the forum here is a better place to get input from the community, as few of us go to the wiki often, and even fewer peruse the histories there.   

Is this something I can do to help?  Am I overstepping my bounds as "best noob" by offering?  I hope not.  I just get tired of seeing (and writing) posts that explain that the wiki's not complete or always accurate.

There is such a forum, and I'm sure an admin will be happy to add you.

Ah!  I was unaware.  Well in that case, I would love to lend a hand.

I'll add you right away.

... and like that ... FES was infiltrated. Has anyone run any background checks on this Tintanet person? NASA employee? CIA? Illuminati?

That super secret forum contains all kinds of super secrets. Our good nature makes us weak as an organisation. I doubt its any coincidence that this request was made on the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton. The conspiracy is as dogmatic as it is sneaky.

You've just been curated, Dinosaur Neil. This is your final warming.

Tintagel is the best FES noob evar, give him the keys.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

Hmm...  Tintagel.  Tint-a-gel.  I'm guessing theatrical or photographic lighting.

Bah!  That was nothing.  You should have seen the CENSORED that CENSORED did.  Now that would flatten anyone's world.

I'm getting tired of censoring you two. If I have to edit one more post you both are on double secret probation!
You have been ignored for common interest of mankind.

I'm a her, but I appreciate the endorsement nonetheless. :)

That's a very good guess, and I actually have done some theatrical lighting so I see where you get that :)  However, I took the name from Tintagel Castle, the supposed birthplace of King Arthur (and also a village in Cornwall, I believe?  I'm a colonial and am not well versed in English geography.)

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got SECRET FORUMS TO INFILTRATE.  ;)
