I know my aim seems lofty and a tad bit out of reach but if I can pull this off then it will solve a lot of newbie problems and be an extremely comprehensive resource about android. I know it seems impossible because of the vast area that android related subjects span. The reason I do not want to concentrate on a particular area is that there are 10 mayebe hundred other sites that will do the same thing, possibly better. With this project on the other hand the material will be available on one site.
I know it is possible. This sort of thing has been done before with Wikipedia. It too took a while to get popuar but now contains an article on practically everything you can think of. It has been done before so it can be done again, except here we restrict ourselves to android related matter. If perhaps every one contributed maybe 1 or 2 pages on their are of interest from this list we would have a wiki of about 40,000 pages. This would help atleast someone and will grow at a slow but reasonable rate as some more people contribute. I am not saying that it will be ready by next week or even next year. I am saying that it is possible. On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 10:08 PM, Kristopher Micinski <[email protected] > wrote: > I agree, > > It seems like a really good idea to start a new wiki or blog at first.
