Yes! I'd like to be part of Team Wiki.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: yesno on September 02, 2008, 03:06:08 AM

yes.

Post by: Gilly on September 02, 2008, 04:07:45 AM

I'll help! From my knowledge of Wikipedia it's not incredibly tech savvy so as long as that it's basically data entry with a small amount of coding I can contribute.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: masterofsparks on September 02, 2008, 06:10:58 AM

I would like to help if I can. I don't know much about the technical side of things, though.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Julie on September 02, 2008, 08:23:51 AM

I can help. I don't know anything, but this is the sort of thing I pick up quickly.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: moonshake on September 02, 2008, 08:38:17 AM

I can help with the technical things.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Tedstud on September 02, 2008, 09:14:44 AM

I'm a nerd so I'll give it a shot.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Omar on September 02, 2008, 09:21:28 AM

I will assist by contributing 4,000 entries.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: erika on September 02, 2008, 09:26:45 AM

I can help on the technical side of things, or if you need any web design for it.

Do you have a URL for it yet? Or will it be linked from the FOT board?

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Martin on September 02, 2008, 09:57:20 AM

I'm in for content, not tech.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: A.M. Thomas on September 02, 2008, 10:28:52 AM

I will gladly contribute what I can to content.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?

Same here.

Post by: Sarah on September 02, 2008, 11:31:17 AM

This is adding up to an awful lot of cooks.  Tom, may I suggest you watch out for your broth?

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Tom Scharpling on September 02, 2008, 11:48:50 AM

Have I ever dropped the ball yet?

No!

And I won't start now.

I know what I'm doing!

Thanks for the concern though.

Tom.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: John Junk 2.0 on September 02, 2008, 01:18:01 PM

I'll do content not tech.  Also spot illustrations if needed.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: wwwes on September 02, 2008, 01:22:50 PM

I'll do whatever I can!

Yes! That would be great.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: chris v on September 02, 2008, 01:30:13 PM

Good thinking John - I'd be happy to contribute illustration work for the Wiki cause.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: buffcoat on September 02, 2008, 02:12:57 PM

I'm willing to contribute some content and work with some already-declared interested others in weaving in the Newbridgctionary content.

i would love love love to help.  count me in, please!

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: andrew in philadelphia on September 02, 2008, 03:03:39 PM

i can write, do drawerings and, if i do say so myself, serve as one hell of a paperweight if the situation demands it. not very good (at all) w/ tech stuff - but i'm in for whatever is needed of me.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Forrest on September 02, 2008, 04:16:12 PM

I don't think I could stand being left out at this point. Also, I'm very good at copying and pasting things. I'm in.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Jimmy on September 02, 2008, 05:33:09 PM

I would love to contribute.  I think it would give me a good feeling in my heart. But I don't think I have enough technical skills/"street cred"... If there is a need for someone of these qualifications, I'm in.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Fido on September 02, 2008, 06:30:24 PM

You should join in the fun, Sarah. You have institutional memory, rabid enthusiasm as far as I can tell, and you can write. From the looks of things and from what I hear. And it'll be loads of fun!

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Sarah on September 02, 2008, 07:54:57 PM

Sweet of you, Fido.  But I'm just not up to making any commitments these days.  If I can be of any use as a consultant here and there, I'll be happy to help. 

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Jan. on September 02, 2008, 08:34:45 PM

I would like to help in any way that I can.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?

I'd love to help too.  I've got loads of free time!

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: SonjaSaysSmile on September 02, 2008, 09:42:28 PM

I'd love it.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Marlowe on September 03, 2008, 09:49:08 AM

I can edit it since I'm pretty OK at using words and stuff.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Wes on September 03, 2008, 09:52:14 AM

I would only help if I could wear the white hard hat and boss people around while not doing any work, just standing around drinking coffee.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Julie on September 03, 2008, 07:20:07 PM

I will only help if I'm bossed around and there's a 98.5% chance that I can disappoint the chief.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Rainer on September 03, 2008, 07:57:03 PM

Since the content portion seems to be taken care of, I'll throw in for technical stuff.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: AllisonLeGnome on September 03, 2008, 08:02:58 PM

The vast majority of my contributions to Wikipedia involve correcting grammar. So while I can't necessarily offer much in terms of content or technical knowledge, I'm available to do that. Though I doubt it's necessary, given that the FOTs seem to be a particularly literate bunch.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: snogrog on September 03, 2008, 11:14:55 PM

i would love to help out. i need to start interacting with this show more often and this is a good place to start!

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Steve in North Hollywood on September 04, 2008, 04:30:52 AM

I will gladly read the page and happily look forward to updates.  Does that count?

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Lacey on September 04, 2008, 01:56:33 PM

Does it need anything knitted for it?  If so, I'll knit something for it.

I sense labor-management strife already, and I think that makes an interesting subtext. I'll be happy to play the part of labor, Wes. You can boss me around and I will be a thorn in your side, with a bad attitude and back-talk the whole time.  8)

Post by: segerandpriest on September 04, 2008, 06:16:45 PM

wow. i'm ready for grunt-work. i'm a labor union staffer in my other life, but i'm prepared to forgo union representation and the associated grievance procedures in the interest of churning out quality agit-prop for Le Tom. brain cells be damned!

I can do PHP, MySQL, some Photoshop, HTML, CSS, some wiki formatting. And content editing/reformatting.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?

I'd like to help in whatever capacity is needed.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?

Free wiki hosting and such is at www.wikia.com.  Seems like a simpler solution than trying to roll your own.

I use wikis (mediawiki) in most of the classes I teach and would be happy to help out as needed.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Poughkeepsie on October 18, 2008, 12:17:55 AM

We should purchase consolidatedcardboard.com or newbridgeNJ.com and either make mock-up sites or host the Wiki there.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: Matthew on January 27, 2009, 02:27:35 PM

I have no web design, but I'd love to put my best show knowledge to good web-editorial use.

This would be an outstanding corrective to the long since outdated "rogue's gallery" and things.

Title: Re: TEAM WIKI. WHO WANTS IN?
Post by: sharktopus on February 18, 2009, 04:55:07 PM

well I ran a huge wiki before handing it off to another guy, we get like 60000 hits a day, so if you need some techincal help, I'd be glad to.

Should we just start a Wikia page and build a wiki there? Seems like a pretty easy way to do this.
