Idea: BMX Tech Wiki

<< < (2/25) > >>

Tubes6al4v:
If someone is already doing a comprehensive list, that would be a great start. Is it a collaborative thing (i.e. wiki), or just a site? If nothing else, we should link to the list. And if he would like to export his work to the wiki, who's going to complain?

I thought about the list thing, but there is a lot to keep up with. Hopefully we could get the companies/fans to do the listing themselves. Maybe work with VitalBMX to get more parts listed in their reviews section and work with them... just throwing out ideas here.

CARBON:
The best thing about a true wiki is that anyone can update anything. If it gets popular and a lot of people contribute it could turn into something pretty good.

It's also great for all the questions that new riders are probably afraid to ask on here... What does female axle mean? What's the difference between a freewheel and a cassette?

I like this idea.

Big Ben:
youd need to have a few people moderating it carefully, but if you put in the effort and write up a few articles to start it up, it could be very useful

Tubes6al4v:
Wikia has a bit of a learning curve to it. Kind of a bummer. Let's try bmxtech.wikispaces.com which supports external links, and supposedly blog import...

CARBON:
I have access to the software that runs wikipedia.org and the bandwidth to run it.

All we need is a couple of people who are willing to moderate. I'm willing to put in the work to get it started.
