[DML] Re: Repeated Questions Solution: DeLorean Tech Wiki?

[deloreanernst@xxxxxxx]

Yes... absolutely right. And a yahoogroups format provides a more  structured 
and secure format that only moderators could delete.
 
The "Messages" section would be for incoming messages, pretty much  as-is.
The "Files" section would have full size tech how-to articles, newbie  FAQ's 
and links to useful websites.
The "Database" section would have complied or edited articles on a single  
topic. 
Viola- easy searching. Easy finding.
 
Sound good? Ok- I already set up the framework... many years ago.  There are 
actually over 140 people signed up, most of whom probably don't  remember 
signing up. So how come nobody ever heard of it? It's still  empty.  A few people 
sent material, but I think many others didn't  like the was it was structured 
back then, which I just finally  changed.  Other things came up and took my 
time, so I never tried  before to resuscitate it. But the need still exists. 
Shall we give it a try? The  name is DMCTech.

Remember, it's just an empty framework at this point. 
Suggestions? Or should we just start fleshing it out?

In  theory, the DML archives could be just as good as the proposed wiki
site.  

But when you need to find out exactly why this mysterious blue  relay
melted and all you can find are posts titled 'OMG OMG  FIIRRRE"....

It's an exaggeration, but I've always HATED hunting  through these
archives. Even though I generally prefer web-based sites,  even those
are terrible to hunt through.
