Thanks to a nifty integration mod I found for MediaWiki + SMF, and Dan's help, the Viki (VCE Wiki) is ready to be edited by a certain group of select editors before release to the general public. Apply here to be a part of the team that produces the initial wiki!
The VCE wiki will be read only to all members whilst we're getting it ready, and hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll launch editing powers to all registered users. Apply below to be on the team!
ALSO: Viki Editors + Admins will get nifty coloured titles and a special membergroup as well as access to the Viki development board. Psychedelic colours and a hidden board... what *ISN'T* enticing about that?
-
Great idea (and great name - reminds me of "I, Robot", lol). What type of info will be on there - general VCE or full-blown pages for each subject etc?
-
It's general VCE. There will be pages for each subject, but it will contain general information + history. The notes system is for specialised information.
-
I'll put my hand up I 'pose.
-
PICK ME.
Where's the old thread about this? I remember it had ideas on it
-
I'll be an editor... when I next get time
-
I want to be, but I'll prolly don't have the time, maybe next year.
-
Yeh why not.
-
*hands up* :D
-
Still need more people...
Here's how I have the team so far:
Viki Admins (sysops):
caramel
Mao
Viki Editors:
Glockmeister
Costargh
I'd like at least a few more editors, if any of you want to volunteer!
-
Cool. Should I watch this space for further info?
-
Yup.
-
what do the editors need to do and how much time has to be invested =P ?
-
yaeh i want to know that as well
-
ditto, i wouldnt mind becoming an editor as well provided i know all the details first.
-
kk here's the lowdown:
1) You all become my SLAVES
2) You will work 24 hour days with NO PAY
3) There is no frolicking
4) NO EATING
haha nah :P
There's a list of articles that need to be written up (numbering roughly 10, I think) floating around that I want to get written up (I'll be writing one or two myself, don't worry), and then once it opens to the public you can write stuff of your own accord if you want or just wait for others to write stuff. Once people write stuff it's your job to check for accuracy + decent wording. You'll also be catching those naughty people trying to sabotage the wiki! (An unfortunate problem of all wikis) Hence why I want more people to staff it. More people = lighter work for everyone!
So, yeah. :P That's it, really.

Lol, sounds like my chemistry teacher
I can check for accuracy if you want and in particular, the sabotages.
-
i'll help if you need help, seems like a good idea
-
I'll help if help is still needed. I like making words sound nice (not very good at editing my own works but good at editing others). I'm not sure if I would be able to help in accuracy - what exact topics will there be? Is it stuff about the VCE system, subjects....?
-
I'd be happy to contribute as an editor.
-
I'll also chip in, if you need me too. Might as well give a bit back to this site, helped me a bit :)
-
Congratulations to the Viki team. You will be forever hailed as starting this landmark undertaking!
Viki Admins (sysops):
caramel
Mao
Nick
Viki Editors:

Costargh
ed_saifa

Global moderators and the moderator captain: You're all automatically sysops, so feel free to edit as you please.

Sounds like Scientology lulz.
Anyway, I'm offering to help out with the sysop/technical side of stuff as well.
EDIT: I know this is necromancy, but I'm slowly getting through the huge backlog of posts...thanks to Uni and YOU KNOW WHAT enwiabe.

I'd apologise to Mao in advance :P
I'd have been more than happy to help, if only I'd seen this post earlier lol.
-
i'm not THAT bad am i? :P
btw excal: help with sysop stuff will be great =] maybe you can fix up the security so viki admins can actually log on!
[amongst ahmad's approval of notes and all that~]
-
Well, enwiabe needs to agree for that to happen!
-
kk done excal is a sysop... well, when the integration script works!
-
this is very late i know, but if there's still a place for another editor / sabotage checker i'd be happy to chip in.
also, when will this bad boy be up and running?

my bet,

-
It will be ages, based on the fact that enwiabe doesn't help out except for installing stuff, half the viki team have not contributed at all. I've probably spent ~5 hours most on it :P
-
Aww... I want to see it. :)
-
What exactly is Viki? as in what does it do/ allow people to do? :S
-
viki = wiki with a v
It is at vcenotes.com/viki, you'll be able to look at pages but not allowed to edit.
