Default Future Scion Wiki - Need help

Hello! I'm in the process of building a Scion related wiki. (What's a Wiki?) This is going to be a large task but I have already gotten the barebones part of it down. Right now, what I really need is a few good people willing to help and collaborate with me on it in private while we get it to a point where it's ready for public viewing and modification. If you are interested in helping out, mediawiki (wikipedia) editing experience is a plus but not necessary, please email me or contact me through IM.

Email: noderat [at] gmail.com

Thank you!

(Mods, I'm not sure if posting this is okay. If it isn't just let me know!)

It's looking good already. What I really need is a bunch of people willing to copy articles over to it so it has some content.

WIKI is shor for "What I know is..." or so has been told.

be careful of copying articles. If it has already been published, like so many here on scion life, it has some type of copyright law behind it that prevents you from just blindly copying it.
get permission before just copying. prevents any type of infringement that could have been made.

If you read the Wikipedia article I linked to in my article you'll learn that Wiki is actually a Hawaiian word for fast. "What I know is" sounds good, but isn't the offical meaning.

But yes, I understand copyright law. For the most part posting to this forum leaves most articles in the public domain. Either way, I know that if I wrote a tutorial or guide that I would want to be credited for writing it.

The wiki is going to be published under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 licence.
