Introducing... the Glade-o-Pedia

A little while ago, I wrote....

And now here's a sneak preview for board members.

Introducing... the Glade-o-Pedia.

You'll notice it's very much like Wikipedia. That's no accident as it's using exactly the same software. The idea is to put all the most useful info about The Glade into a neat, easy-to-navigate site, so that it's much easier to find things than having to wade through long threads on forums. The main idea is to make it useful for complete newbies.

It's extremely short on content at the moment, as it's still being tested, so I thought I'd let board members have a look before it goes completely public.

Anyone who knows how to edit wiki pages is welcome to add useful content. I'll be inviting a few key Glade people (including organisers, promoters and owners of other forums) to add material. In the meantime, please let me know what content from this board or elsewhere you would like to see added.

:thup:

[Edit 25 May: Must stress this is still very much a work in progress at the moment. Just thought I'd let you all have a sneak preview]

Thats an excellent idea indeed. Will definitely be useful to centralise the glade info.

Possible articles:

    Camping tips
    Rundown of the stages
    Rumours of who is playing

Cheers for those suggestions. :thup:

I already had the rumours incorporated into the "What's the lineup?" section. I'll expand on that in the Glade-o-Pedia but still refer people to the Glade lineup rumours list on here as it's still in a state of flux.

Have added some of the other suggestions. Will add a bit more material to it then go public. Remember wiki sites are intended to be collaborative works, so feel free to add/amend useful content (it'll be reverted out pretty quick if it's not useful! :P).

And if the other boards are willing to share the costs of hosting, I'll be happy to have the Glade-o-Pedia hosted on its own domain and made forum-neutral.

OK, I think I'm ready to go live with this now.

OK, can people suggest other useful stuff to add to the Glade-o-Pedia?

Obviously this is still the bare bones at the moment, the idea is to ensure people have all the essential info in one easy-to-navigate place. :)
