Re: Experimental Wiki at midrange.com

Hi folks,

Like David said so elegantly, I see Wikipedia as a source of knowlegde for "What is iSeries?" 
not "How do I do SQL in a RPG program?" A midrange user will more likely search the 
midrange.com <http://midrange.com> site before searching Wikipedia for this knowledge.

The wiki software is open-source, and there are all kinds of wiki's starting up on the Web, in specialized subjects. The issue of control that Mike brought up is also an important one, and it's one of the biggest reasons there are these burgeoning numbers of Wiki locations. For example, with a midrange wiki, we can be as iseries-bigoted as we please! :-)

Also, since there are going to be multiple branching references, this will be easier to maintain within the midrange wiki. As to the general wikipedia site, it doesn't have to be synchronized necessarily, but I think it's appropriate to suggest that links can be added to the general wikipedia on appropriate pages.
