Subject: [meteorite-list] Announcing: The Meteorite Wiki
Hi Listees, Meteorite Collectors, Scientists, Meteorite Junkies,
Addicts & All Meteorite Enthusiasts,
A long while ago I discussed an idea for a central meteorite website
with some community members about the creation of a central hub of
meteorite knowledge and information database in which everyone could
participate and contribute through a community of like minded
individuals. This of course would be for the furtherance of the
science and hobby of meteoritics, meteorite collecting, meteorite
hunting, and the meteorite industry as a whole.
A website that would provide an active and evolving database of
encyclopedic meteorite knowledge and information for the hobbiest,
scientist and even more so for the curious, as they are the new
meteorite enthusiasts and possible future meteoriticists.
As the world learns more about meteorites, asteroids, comets, and the
universe in relation to meteorites what better way to grow this
knowledge base than through the first and only meteorite related
wiki. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what a wiki is, it's
an online collaborative effort to compile information in a community
type environment.
Introducing The Meteorite Wiki: www.meteoritewiki.com
The Meteorite Wiki runs on the same software that runs the world
famous and beloved Wikipedia.org website, and is robust and feature
rich enough to provide the perfect venue to compile the worlds
meteorite information into one easy and convenient online database.
Mission Statement: To compile knowledge and share the enjoyment of
meteorite science & hobby through an open community wiki in which
everyone interested can participate & contribute to the growth of the
knowledge of meteorites.
Enjoy...
Regards,
Eric Wichman

P.S. Those interested in contributing or who would like more
information, you're welcome to respond to this thread publicly
on-list or privately via email. If you belong to a university or
educational institution we would love to have you contibute your
articles, papers, photos, video or other media to the inclusion in
the Meteorite Wiki. We have also reserved the most important website
domain name as well for the expansion of the Meteorite Wiki
experiment, meteoritewiki.org. This is to create a non-profit
organization for the site should it be a successful endeavor. For now
though it will be under the .com extension.
