Jason, Don't get me wrong, I didn't want to discourage you or anyone from contributing to the worldwide fount of gliding knowledge. Far from it as I think anything that promotes our sport in even the smallest way is good. I just think it might be better to add to already established sites/wikis rather than yet another homebrew (then again, 'variety is the spice of life' they say...).
All good ideas you bring up! - Except the one about copying; why not simply reference and give credit to the original creators? That's probably what you meant. Looking forward to meeting you at a (gliding club) bar one of these days, Ulrich -----Original Message----- From: Jason Armistead [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 22 January 2006 18:36 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: RE: [Aus-soaring] Anyone interested in creating a gliding Wiki ? Ulrich While Wikipedia already has some topics relating to gliding, I think we would do better with our own soaring-only wiki, and then get some interwiki links to it from Wikipedia. Maybe we invite the HGFA members to join in with submissions ? I'm sure there's a lot of things we could share and learn from one another. There are probably several articles on Wikipedia that we could copy for our own purposes or simply refer to. e.g. on the different types of cloud formations But a lot of information, as it relates to Australian soaring, where to get equipment, etc, (the kind of stuff that gets asked from time to time here on Aus-Soaring) is really not what Wikipedia is all about.
