Wiki Contributions for the Motivationally Challenged

Submitted by webguy on Wed, 09/21/2011 - 09:47

Appreciating that some of you may not wish to create a wiki account and log in, we've set up a thread on the Forums where you can post stuff you'd want to add, corrections, comments, etc.

The this goes in the Wiki but I'm too lazy to log in thread

Fall Outer Banks Trip

Submitted by webguy on Mon, 09/12/2011 - 10:10

Interested in sailing the Outer Banks this fall? Several spots are open for a couple or individuals. Barrett & Peggy Walker have organized a windsurfing house on the water in Nags Head, NC for the weeks beginning Oct. 22 and Oct. 29. Despite concerns about damage from Hurricane Irene, both the road to Nags Head and the house are open. (Damage to the highway providing access to the Outer Banks, is further south.)

New Wiki

Submitted by webguy on Sat, 09/10/2011 - 12:48

After struggling for a long time on the best way (okay, a good way, anyways) to assemble the accumulated local wisdom, I've installed a wiki at http://www.windsurfatlanta.org/wiki

It uses the same software as Wikipedia, so it looks a lot like Wikipedia.

Pros:Popular format backed by large developer community. Short learning curve. Self assembles and categorizies information with minimal work. Integrates well with Google Maps. Fairly easy to upload media such as photos. Allows community collaboration ie we can all participate in contributing content.
