| For those who don't know, a Wiki is sort of a cross between a web site and a database.
Any page can easily be edited by anyone with permission, so over time it builds up into a useful resource.
It would be great to have a Wine Wiki that included information on the wine regions, varietals, wineries etc. People could add details of their visits, links to tasting notes, deals, etc. | |

| | Isn't there a Wikipedia, which is like an encyclopedia that anyone can add to? Does it have a section on wine, or is that too generic for Vinocellar purposes? | | | |

| Wikipedia uses the same basic technology, and there would be nothing to stop people from using that.
However I was thinking of something a bit more community-based, with information about visiting, releases, links to tasting notes, etc. | |

| | Hmm... think there is enough interest? I could add a vinocellar wiki page. | |

| i was just talking to my web developer about this. A software company already took winewiki.com. I think it would be a great resource for winemakers on clones, barrels, etc.
Cheers,

| Ok, I've put a Wiki on the main page. You need to be registered (separate registration from the forums) in order to edit the Wiki.
THIS IS ONLY A TEST WIKI to see if this software will do what everyone wants it to do. If everyone thinks we need a more powerful wiki, that can certainly be looked into. I have many resources for researching them, and have already chosen a more powerful wiki I'd use, but I can't integrate it into Vinocellar as nicely as the current one, though the current one lacks a lot of Wiki features.
So place your comments here about the current one, and things you like about it, and don't like about it. We'll make this a community project of sorts.

| | This'll be a great resource, I think. Lists of winery links, food links, lists of BYOW friendly restaurants and more. | |

| I'd rather not just become a link repository. I think the information we'd like to see should be put here onto the page, not just linked off of it.

| So not much interest? Just not happy with the version of software I'm using? Need something more robust? Or just not interested? I'd like to hear some thoughts before I spend more time on it.
Thanks! | |

| | I'm not sure what to add, exactly. I was going to list out the Corkage Fees Restaurant list, but that will take some time digging through posts in the Travel & Dining section. | |

| | Tj, that's why a wiki can fit in so well... maybe you add one, someone else adds another, and soon enough you have quite a few in there.... | |
