(Add a Wiki platform to projectavalon)
 

Hallo owners and moderators of projectavalon.

Forums are often a messy sometimes even dirty place, and they lose a lot of good information's because of the mass of texts and the weak structure of a forum. Quality text sink down in textflows and masses of "blabla" texts. And i noticed that you lose data of the forum (maybe forever? If you have a SQL backup of the forum before of the data loss, it is maybe possible to reconstruct the data.)

I would like to suggest to use in addition to the forum, a Wiki software with NOT open write access. This would allow you to give to your personally known members a platform where they can write articles in a clean format. And you have discussions and Quality problems out of the Wiki, because people can write articles instead to respond on opinions.
If you create a clean structure, it would be mach easier to find Quality information's from people you trust and know them personally.
If in the forum somebody ask a interesting question, instead to respond in the forum, your autos can put a link to the Wiki article where they can respond in a general text.
And maybe you have good texts in the forum you want to move in the Wiki to.


I know the software http://www.dokuwiki.org/ (don't need any SQL! And offer a lot templates and plugins) and http://www.mediawiki.org/ (with SQL and the Software witch Wikipedia uses) good, and can recommend them.

Search here for other Software if you are interested
http://www.wikimatrix.org/


i believe strongly, this will save a lot of problems you may have now with your forum.


Thanks, by

You can write me here if you need more information's, or use mail if you need more privacy.
(i will not send you mails without your request, i think you sink down in mails.)
