[QUOTE="ax0n, post: 846847, member: 1360"] Hi All, I thought it would be time to detail my 'big idea' for the Netbook of Planes in anticipation of this weekends meeting. For those of you who haven't guessed, I would like to change our objective from producing a Netbook to producing a Wiki! In case you didn't know wikis are a new breed of collaborative web-site that are taking the Internet by storm. The basic concept is very simple: a wiki is are encyclopedia-like web-sites where anyone can come along and edit the content. At first this sounds like a recipe for disaster but actually its a extremely open and effective way of allowing many people to collaborate on writing content together. The most successful Wiki project is Wikipedia ([url]http://www.wikipedia.org/[/url]) - an on-line encyclopedia written and edited by anyone who wants to come along and join in. For more information on wikis and the culture of wikis I recommend you take a look and search for 'wiki'. It is my belief that if we move the Netbook of Planes from a traditional 'write then publish as PDF' publishers into a constantly evolving, dynamic, open and collaborative on-line resource - a sort of Wikibook of Planes - will give our project a new lease of life. By opening up our content in this way people will feel more obliged to contribute because the material is created and belongs to everyone. What's more, no-one in the RPG industry has even thought about doing this before! All people submitting work would have to click an agreement saying that they are publishing their work under the OGL as 100% OGC with a clear warning that they are not to submit copyrighted work which they do not have permission to use. This would clear up the legal problems and means we could also dynamically construct section 15's for the OGL. This is the PHP, post-nuke-like project I'm working one and I hope to have the first version up and running soon. In the meantime I'd like to hear everyones thoughts on this subject so please me know what you think and we'll take a vote on it. Yours... [/QUOTE]
