Hi,
I've always felt that we could all put together a really good collaborative
website of info that could be easily updatable as knowledge grows. Knowledge
is power and all that. A really useful knowledge base to accompany this
mailing list with a UK focus.
Just for a bit of fun I've setup a wiki to see what people think. Could this
be useful? Obviously there's no info on it at the moment and I've just taken
a stab at the main site sub-sections but it only took about 15 minutes to
setup and if it's a crap idea then it's a crap idea. Evolving. Organic.
I called it Access Now.
The address is http://accessnow.pbwiki.com/
It's pretty quick and accessible but has more clutter on the page than I'd
like so maybe it's not the best wiki service anyway.
If you want to add to it just to play around, the password is 'blunkett'
If you want to edit a page hit alt-e then enter on the page you want to
change. It'll take you to a page where all the content is in one big edit
field and you can edit it.
If you want, for instance, to add a new page about Skype from the software
page then hit alt-e which makes it editable. Then put skype in square
brackets, with a bit of info next to it, and press save. You've now
generated a link to a page called Skype. Click that link and start adding
content to it in the way described earlier and save it - alt-s from within
the edit field.
Just a random idea and I've setup the site to start a discussion rather than
to actually create a site.
I did do a bit of a Google to see if a similar UK access wiki existed but I
couldn't find one.
I feel a collaborative project could be really empowering and useful
though - both practically and maybe for campaigning purposes too. Don't care
if it turns out to be this site or not ... I reckon there's probably better
services and software out there for this purpose and I don't particularly
want any ownership, hassle or glory. Examples sometimes work better than
words is all.
Have a lovely bank holiday. Interested to know what you think or perhaps
there's enough out there already.
...Damon
