I am thinking of starting LegoWiki, to be about Lego the company, Lego the
brick, and Lego the community.
A Wiki is a collaboratively created and edited site, where the content is
released under a free license, such as the GNU Free Document License or one of
the Creative Commons Licenses.
The purpose of this site would be to provide a place for new and veteran fans of
Lego to share information, ideas, links, methodologies, or any information. It
would serve as a sort of "electronic warehouse" of Lego knowledge.
Technically speaking, no problem. I have experience running and maintaining
MediaWiki (The software behind Wikipedia) and many other wikis. I have a host to
put it on and a few people able to server as site maintainers.
Any ideas, comments, suggestions, or critiques on this? Would any you be willing
to create content for the site or be interested in seeing one created?
Thanks,
Venkatesh Srinivas

| (...) OK, I have a question.... what will a Legowiki provide us that we don't already have in Lugnet, Peeron, Bricklink and Brickshelf? I am not sure that we need another reference guide. Of course I am speaking with bias here cuz I'm coming out (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)

| (...) One more point that just popped into my head: External linking. As a Wiki can not and will not replace places like Peeron, a Lego Wiki would need a simple, but powerful way of linking to set and part references. I have not tried to set up a (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.general)

| (...) Venkatesh, LUGNET is in the process of "future proofing" itself, so to speak. I'm in Boston having conversations with people and typing up potential directions for the site. Wiki integration is coming up often in my mind. Please contact me if (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
