When you start with something new, like a user group or wiki, which the Indian community (that I have seen) at large are not exposed to, it takes time for them to understand and work with the system. Rome was not built in a day, so is any other user group. You have to be very patient, really, really patient. It is also *essential* for the members to guide/advocate to the newbies about the user group and wiki. Advocacy+Guidance are very, very important. It can't be done overnight or in few weeks. It takes months, sometimes years. But, when it is done there is no looking back. Trust me on this one. > - What would they use it for? > -- Perhaps official LUG project planning. 1. Documentation. http://chennailug.org/wiki/?title=Find_your_distro 2. Resource/event planning. http://chennailug.org/wiki/?title=Events http://chennailug.org/wiki/?title=ELCOT 3. Announcements. http://chennailug.org/wiki/?title=Main_Page 4. Information. http://chennailug.org/wiki/?title=I_took_the_Red_Pill > The wiki is going to go nowhere unless a > lot of users begin to use it to do things. Not really. Even if there are few people who are contributing lot of articles to the wiki, it is still valuable information, because, people will still read it. Yes, we would like more contributors, but, when we start, we start small, and as time goes by we will grow in strength.
