Wiki?

[attrezzo]

That's quite a rundown on wikis, for those that might be unfamiliar. I agree that some topics are well suited to being presented that way.

The current Articles section already has the ability for us to let authors (even multiple ones) maintain endlessly, in addition to new topics being by moderated for approval. And, bonus, that they are integrated into the forum itself.

I'm not at all opposed to a wiki. But, starting it by expanding the Articles is probably the best course. That information can easily be moved to a full wiki, when needed.

If the articles section already allows multiple authors then technically it's already a wiki. Maybe crosslinking more would help out. I'll work on a few basics to see what I can do to help spruce it up. Thx

Threads tagged by the moderators as "sticky" are worth linking to. They come up on a forum by forum basis; if there is a one-stop for the greatest hits in HF, then it would be worth including them somehow.

You'd be rather amazed how many 'bankers' don't get some of the fundamentals of risk analysis.

Oh Cannibal, I so get that.

For one, it's an enormous undertaking.

I presume you refer to the work involved in initially populating it with useful content. In any case, I don't think that's necessary; why not just install the software and let it go (much as these forums appear to be )? I think users will develop it quickly.

I suggest Dokuwiki or another fast engine which supports Markdown (in preference to wiki-style syntax).

In any case, I agree that articles ought to be used more.
