Dear Leigh, It's agreed that a typical wiki deals with dynamic information, it is constantly growing and changing. There are (rather strict) authoring standards and all kinds of people behind the scenes at the wiki to keep the content and correct and politically safe. The K3 wiki does not need to be this dynamic with respect to changes. Sure it would be more convenient, but the existing pages are basically static so they don't need to be changed rapidly. New pages -can- be added by anyone at any time. The inherent problem is the eHam types and the K3 wiki sysops simply don't have the time to follow them and clean up their mess. The view is there would be far more prank and troll postings than actual submissions of valuable K3 text, so it would become a daily chore for someone to chase down bogus pages and restore old content. That having been said, we invite everyone on this list to take part in the wiki. Register yourself (all you need is a username and a password), add a page, then submit it to any sysop listed on the main page to be linked into one of the existing (protected) pages. You can also copy the source from the existing page you want to change into your new revised page, then notify the sysops that you want a change. It's great to see the wiki evolving, one of the fun parts has been placing the comments and serial numbers from each new K3 owners and placing them as a chronology on the serial numbers page. Mostly this site is to promote K3 and Elecraft (Lisa Jones), so you won't find too much that's controversial on those pages. !!! In other words - tone counts. You will find all the information that is there to be "on topic" for K3. I use the wiki as my entry point for my browser to the elecraft digest list. Look under related links. For K3 go to: http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/K3_Wiki_at_ZeroBeat.NET or for the kits page: http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/KX1_K1_K2_Wiki_at_ZeroBeat.NET That's the scoop, check it out.

I went to add a link to it but the, but [K3 Press Reviews] page wasn't editable. In fact, I couldn't find a single page on the site that was editable, even though I have an account and was logged in. Is this perhaps an oversight?
