Two new site ideas. Please vote!

We just thought of two ideas for 1SRC. A blog and a Wiki. We feel that these new features will enhance the community's teamwork and at the long run, benefit Palm OS enthusiasts.

Blog - Members can apply to become a blog contributor. At anytime, a blog contributor can write about his/her current experience with his/her palm os device -- new purchase, new app, experiments, rumors, accessories, etc.

Wiki - For a long time, there has been really no one site that has documented the how-to's of doing things on a palm os device. Everyone relied heavily on the forums and reviews. Why not properly document them on a wiki system? A wiki will let members start writing their own how-to's, tips, and tricks, and other members can improve them by modifying them, and adding details if necessary.


Please vote which you think would like added to the site. We will add a specific feature if it gets at least 150 votes by December 14, 2005.

Feel free to discuss and add your commetns and suggestions on this thread.

Thanks!

I only voted for the blog. Thats not exactly what a Wiki is for. I look forward to sharing the word of Legodude522.

I think that a wiki is best for how-to's since it can be a collaborative effort to document something. Here's a sample:

I like the Wiki idea but not the Blog. The Forums are enough in my opinion.

Former palmsource employee Michael Mace recently disucssed Wikis on his blog Mobile Opportunity which is one of my daily plucks/reads. I thought it was an interesting cross over

Overall good ideas and I will vote for both

Man, Reggie, that is a difficult choice.

I've voted for the Wiki. While I really like the idea of the blog, the wiki seems more inclusive of all the 1SRC members.

I voted for the wiki. There are other 'blogs' online; there is no (easy to use) wiki.

I voted for both. The wiki format is great for how-tos and the blogs are great for opinion and discussion. I do agree though that the forums have already been a good source of how-tos and discussions. I think if the wiki is structured properly it would make even arcane topics easier to find.
