Wiki link suggestion

[selgaran]

Hi -

I've noticed that lots of folks don't seem to notice the wiki, or are looking for info that is in the wiki, but the wiki really isn't all that obvious.

How about adding a link to wiki into the link bar at the top of all the pages - the one that currently has:

Home · Your Account · Forums · RR Database · Submit Info

This might help raise the profile of the wiki a little.

Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.

Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.

Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.

So now that you know - get in there and start contributing content! See something missing? Add it yourself!
