Yep, I actually did something! Not a big amount of something, but at least the wiki is online and working - I think. I'll try adding to it soon, my main priority has been getting it online and running smile.gif

In a sense, nothing! It still has the same way of categorizing things, posting up information, etc. However, hopefully by having it completely dedicated to BZoo a lot more information can be posted up by anyone who wants to contribute. Past and present history, articles, interviews, alternative album/single covers, anything you like so long as it all ties into BZoo and a BZ article.

I guess it's like a website which can be built by fans, but with something like wikipedia, they wouldn't really be interested in articles about Jas being posted, or interviews, etc. Just a citation generally, or at most an odd quote or two.

At least, I hope that's what will make this different. Now you're making me nervous... blink.gif mellow.gif

Well, it's online and anyone can contribute to it and add articles. Right now (given time outside of other commitments) I'm trying to work out a rough structure of categories and an entrance page with key information easily accessible which will hopefully encourage people to contribute smile.gif

I'll contribute once it has been better established though I'm not great at HTML codes- I did make the Babylon Zoo charts table on Wikipedia though!

Should be soon, I have a doodle of the things I'd like to see for the main page which should sorta give everyone a great help to the structure/content of the thing. Sorry I've not done it quicker, I've been a little distracted.. mostly day dreaming smile.gif

Muse wiki (http://www.musewiki.org/MuseWiki) is a great example of a wiki done well, it could be used for reference

If there's any Wiki experts kicking about who wouldn't mind taking on the project, let me know. I'd happily set someone's account to admin for the wiki so they can head the project.

This is still a project I intended to see going ahead. Unfortunately Chris is rather MIA these days after a computer failure - that's also caused a fair amount of lost email and things. And it seems my time distribution just doesn't cut it for running websites any more. Hopefully I'll be able to bring in others to do the wiki, or to at least get back to site maintaining/etc.
