SpinWiki
I started this project a week or two ago inspired by the KnitWiki to create a SpinWiki. On the Spindlers Ravelry group, I find myself and other members explaining the same concepts over and over. I personally don’t mind this, and consider it a part of forum culture. New people arrive and need the same information as everyone else. However, I thought that perhaps having a place online with answers to their questions might help some people. I know there will always be those that need direct help and answers to their questions.
So I’ve finally opened up the SpinWiki publicly after spending quite a bit of time getting the basic structure up. I wanted to have all the policy, copyright, and help information all ready before opening things up. I also wanted to make sure I understood how things worked, and that I had some idea for a system in place for a community to form. I’ve had a little activity from others, but so far not a lot of information being added. I’ve been doing what I can when I’m feeling reasonably intelligent, but the articles I’ve added will definitely need more. Hopefully I can slowly build up a steady number of contributors so we’ll have one place where we can learn more about spinning.
