New CD Freaks Wikipedia



I think of a wikipedia as an open source encyclopedia. Anyone and everyone can contribute and correct info on a gien topic. Over at CD Freaks they're starting a wikipedia of optical drives. Feel free to peruse and add.

Many of you might have heard about Wikipedia, the the free encyclopedia. The software used for the project is MediaWiki and our system administrator Liggy has recently also installed this software on the CD Freaks Server.

Our aim is to gather as much knowlegde as we can and a Wiki offers a way for everyone to contribute. Those who are not familiar with a Wiki should certainly take a look and try to discover the secrets of the Wiki. Although it might look like a strange concept to you, Wikipedia has proven that it works.

A Wiki allows everyone to add and modify content, categorise it and make it accesible to everyone. We believe that knowlegde is power and would like everyone to give it a try. You will learn how it works very fast, simply by take a look at the code of current pages (hit the edit tab on top of the page). We look forward to see your contributions and hope everyone will share.
