ReCom Wiki

[masterof_none]

I'm trying to find opinions on setting our own Wiki. The main advantage of Wiki is resource sharing. But whether it's really needed or not is left to be discussed.

There are a couple of things that running through my mind right now.
Our wiki could be one of these things.

1. SPM Wiki. - Will put a lot of stuff on helping people about SPM.

2. Malaysia Wiki.

Setting Malaysia wiki is a bit redundant since I know so far 2 Wikis are out there about Malaysia :

General :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia

More specific : SMF folks' :
http://cgi.stanford.edu/group/smf/cg...wiki/index.cgi

i guess we can be more specific , for example, the
Malaysian Economy, or the details about the cities :e.g
Melaka, KL, Ipoh, Penang, etc.

Suggestions are welcome

I think a good start would be to develop it for secondary school education, as well as resources for university students. (Students/Alumni of various universities, write-up, links, about their research, about financial aid, scholarships etc.)

I think the university students one, we could do a good job~!

Wiki Malaysia by Stanford folks are fantastic. I have just added the list of all cabinet ministers and I guess there are tons of stuff that we can help adding in~! So, fellow ReComers, get your acts started and go ahead~!

Just curious, what security measurement is done to prevent hackers to add anything they wish?

[DecentMerson]

yeah... i do think security measures are needed... coz i've just change someting about it...

the link to Sin Chew Jit Poh isn't the right one... (somebody left out the .my)

and i've added it....

Wiki are meant to be edited by general public. But we could also choose to restrict to only several previlege users.

But wondering if anyone interested in updating the Wiki

[chenchow]

I think we could leave it to the public, but we need to monitor.

Wikipedia.com is in public domain and anyone, including you and me can just go there and change anything, but it seems that it is working perfectly fine~!

its because a few ppl watch the page and always revert the current edition to the previous one if a vandal visits. quite easy to revert.

You should have watched Kerry and Bush's pages during the election. it was fun! in the end, the mod locked the page.

So, anyone wants to take the lead to develop SPM Wiki during this winter break.

Technologically wise, I don't think I would be able to help much, but I would definitely be more than happy to help look for as many resources as possible~!

might as well volunteer for resource searching/typing if we are going ahead with the SPM wiki heh, not like i will be that busy for the foreseeable future anyway heh

oh and can someone put up our constitution on the malaysia wiki? i think there's a link to one somewhere in our forums

Have you ever experience a situation where you want to find your favorite teacher in high-school or primary school and you realized that that teacher has transferred somewhere else?.

Or, you want to know what's the difference between various colleges to go to (or various sekolah menengah to recommend friends , or maybe send you kids.)

How about a Wiki that explore the schools and colleges in Malaysia?.
(the teachers, population, the coolness rate, etc).
