VCE Questions - Merspi

[Collin Li]

Merspi (http://merspi.com.au) is now live!

The place to ask VCE questions.


What's so special about Merspi?

Well, nothing really. We're just a synthesis of a variety of effective websites that have used different approaches to deliver and transfer knowledge. At Merspi, we
have been inspired by the following technologies:

• Wikipedia, for their collaborative knowledge archive.
• Digg, for their innovative method of socially organising great and relevant content!
• Blackboard-style systems of content management, used in the leading universities all around the world.
• Online forums, for their ability to create and maintain social networks

Merspi borrows the relevant features from all these concepts, and brings them together to facilitate the best learning and understanding of VCE content possible. We are a knowledge base like Wikipedia, a socially organised website like Digg, with a strong emphasis on specific learning objectives like Blackboard, whilst fostering a strong VCE community like online forums.

And to try it out, you don't even need to register! Just ask a question first!


See you on the site!

Any comments or feedback?

Looks a lot like http://stackoverflow.com/
Any plans on implementing LaTeX (not sure if it's available through that software, though)? Nevertheless, it looks great and I hope you establish a nice flow of questions/answers soon.

Props for recognising it -- what a great way to organise content! We have paid-permission to do so.

LaTeX implementation is on the to-do list!

A guide on how to use all of the features of Merspi will be released in the next few days. There's so many features I'm still trying to understand how to use optimally (voting, reputation, tagging, filtering)! And the game of "badges" makes it so fun and addictive in the process! In the meantime, feel free to play around with it on your own!

Good site, though a bit disorganized since there's no specific subject tags.

It's a great site by the way, it seems many people are having questions answered!

Why not just create them? The community has the power to do that!

Yep. You can register with an email and a password.

Thanks for the support guys! We're growing pretty rapidly
