Ok, I'm running in to lots of thorns while creating a wiki from the ground up. I need a scratch pad for it all, so that's going to be the use of my comment box for the time being.
I'm a huge fan of wikis. As an early adopter of Davis Wiki, I learned the power of this medium. During my thru-hike of the PCT, I became enamoured with the idea of creating a PCT Wiki. So, here it is.

PCTwiki is going to be a really good example of a common interest wiki. I can see it growing quickly and productively. Already I want to start adding pages to it and telling people about it. —JasonAller
2007-02-25 00:23:30 Thanks Jason! I really do think that it'll take off. It's such a great use for wiki. There's a huge community of PCTers online, lots of websites, a cluster-fck of information, etc. all that leads to the logical conclusion of a wiki. Can't wait for wikispot to go live :) —JackHaskel
2007-02-25 00:29:49 What's the deal with People vs Users? Same thing right? So why the people tab? And there's an issue with the users/person name thing. Because "person name" needs a redirect to the "user/person name". —JackHaskel

I think that I figured it out. Thanks for the edit before phil. One thing, does the tab setting need to be updated from "people" to "users" on the wikispot install?

I think "People" is way more human than "Users," but the idea is that you might have a wiki that has information about "people" (non-users), and "users" is more specific. That's why we're using Users/name for the location of pages for users now. New wikis definitely need a "Users" page because it's part of the links.. I'm not sure what it should have on it, though? Any ideas?
2007-02-25 00:31:28 I feel like many, many more pages should be included with the wikispot install. I'm spending tons of time transfering base pages from dwiki, as I think most wiki creators will wan to do. So, here's an ongoing list... —JackHaskel
2007-02-25 00:39:04 also, need a list of those included pages somewhere on wikispot. because once I deleted it from the front page, i need to look at my all pages to find what i lost —JackHaskel
Hey Jack, the 'base' wiki is at ![[zac]](../wiki/eggheadbeta/img/inter.png){kind=small}
No Interwiki entry for: zac. You should add in pages there that you think all wikis need! —PhilipNeustrom
