New Wiki

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.

Cons: Not as fine-grained searchable as doing this natively on our main site. For the moment, requires separate log in credentials. Learning curve- a touch more involved than just entering stuff into a box and submitting (though if you just do this, we can work with your content).

I'm starting to add back content from our old site. If you would like to contribute content, let me know.
