It was thus said that the Great Ron Hudson once stated:
This died out, Do we want to do our own Wiki?
The last suggestion was that we make entries at WikiPedia [
http://en.wikipedia.org/ ]
I think we would be better served with our own Wiki, we would be able
to arrange the
data in a way that would mean something to us. Otherwise would have to
have our machines
peppered about in between other subjects.
I suggest this arrangement:
Introduction Year : Manufacturer : Model : User : Individual machine
Some Wiki's also allow for a user's home page. There I sugest each user
tell us about
their collection / machine (with a link to the machine page)
Okay. Took me only ten minutes or so, but I set up the
ClassicComputerWiki at
http://www.flummux.org/cgi-bin/ccwiki.pl
It's the code from the original Wiki at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki, in Perl.
Feel free to take a look around, add pages, commentary, what have you. If
anyone wants to host this themselves (say, at classiccmp.org, hint hint)
it's just one Perl script, no database required (just disk space) so it can
be moved with relatively no problems. I actually don't mind hosting it
though and I personally would be interested to see what happens.
So have at it.
