The chief difference between this wiki and Wikipedia
is that this is not
aiming to be an encyclopedia of formal defintion articles, but an
information base for articles of all kinds - handy hints and tips,
practical guides, tutorials, quick introductions, cheat sheets, advice,
stories, you name it.
I'd say a good difference between this and Wikipedia is that it doesn't have
to deal with the bizarre rules that I've seen hit some Wikipedia pages.
I've observed a legitiment computer article trashed by some self important
bozo with an ax to grind that insisted it wasn't a valid article and should
be deleted.
Currently, the wiki has a strong DEC minicomputer
bias, because all
three of the current active editors are DEC fans. With time, I hope this
bias becomes less apparent, and that people will add information about
micros, other minis, mainframes, peripherals, terminals, etc, etc.
I see some interesting info in there, looks like a good start.
