Yep - with all due respect to "No 1 Son", computer people always seem to write "explanations" that are best understood by people who are computer literate. If in doubt try reading a "user manual" or talking to a "help desk". Or standing there as they solve the problem on your screen with flying fin

Although only in its very infancy and barely configured, I’ve decided to go live on the new Australian gliding site www.ausgliding.com.   It consists of two sections, the proposed Australian Gliding Wiki (hereby dubbed “WikiGlide” ) at: http://www.ausgliding.com/wiki/ . Much thanks to B

What you probably should explain Jason is what a Wiki actually is, why we should want to set one up, and, assuming one was set up, what to do with it. I don't think 'user editable web site' quite captures the essence and usefulness of wikis... > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECT

Geoff LOL ! Let me give you a quick summary (as best as a dumb electrical and software engineer can manage !) of some of the jargon I used. Wiki - supposedly the Hawaiian word for "quick". Wikis are user editable web sites, which generally have a lot of features to make it easy to edit and

Gus Already had a quick look at your new site. One thing that Mediawiki DOESN'T come with is the help, since it's built into the Wiki database itself. You can get a dump from Mediawiki's project "Meta" i.e. meta.wikimedia.org - and do a search for dumps and import this into your site. It is

I think wikis are a great idea. I've gone ahead and registered the name "www.ausgliding.com" and in a day or two once I have it set up will have a gliding wiki there that can be contributed to by all. Feel free to put up wiring diagrams, tost sizes, thermalling tips, pilot profiles, whatever you l
