PPCGeeks Wiki

PPCGeeks now has a Wiki!!!!

For those of you that don't know, a wiki lets everyone edit and create pages, like wikipedia.org (we're actually using the same software as they are). This lets you contribute to sharing information and making it available in an organized way (hopefully).

So now ROMs can have a wiki page and the community can contribute to creating a FAQ or common issues and solutions that would normally be found in the forum thread.

We DO NOT want people to start replying to questions with "look in the wiki". Instead, since its easy to use, just suggest that they look at the wiki, but also provide them a link to their answer.

The wiki can be found at http://wiki.ppcgeeks.com, and there's also links in the navigation bar and at the top-right of the pages.

I've started a device database, which will link to pages for each device. I plan to add specs to each device, along with some pictures. But since this is a community effort, feel free to edit the pages and add information to them.

If you create a page, please add them to a category, which will make them easier to find. I have categories for Devices, ROMs, Kitchens, Radios, and OEMs. If you can think of more that will get used, let me know.

I've also created a basic how-to for the wiki, which can be found here. This is probably new to most of us, so if you figure out things that could be useful, feel free to edit that page and add to it.

Enjoy!

I'm going to do what I can today to learn this thing. I've never actually tried to add info. so here I go.

What about the history of PPCGeeks? Who was the one who did that last time? It was great. Can this be found still? Do you remember Frosty?

BigDiesel wrote up a thing on Wikipedia, but they deleted it because they said he had too many links. So I'm not sure if its still floating around or not.

A Wiki post, on the Internet, with too many links. LOL!

I knew that it was gone from the net but didn't remember who made it. I'll see if he still has something.

So, I tried to add a page to the Diamond Section, a cab file page.......but it's so far only a category. I am reading and learning now on how to insert files.

If anyone's interested...feel free to help or just let me learn.

I started looking into it a few weeks back, but got lost cuz I was wanting to actually start a db of sorts to better track compatability between devices/roms, and features could be compared. (since many apps are redundant)

oh yea, btw,,, what's the "My Forum" all about??? (don't want to steal frosty's thunder, if anouncement was pending)
