One of the things I've been considering adding to this site is a Wiki. I'm considering that it might provide a good mechanism for people to post episode guides, artwork, or just about anything you'd like to post about the stories that doesn't fit well in the bulletin board, or in the story itself.

One of the Wiki packages I am considering is MediaWiki. It's main benefit is it allows you to upload any type of file to be incorporated in your pages. I am open to other suggestions for what Wiki software to use. Let me know if you have any suggestions for Wiki packages to investigate, or what you think of adding a Wiki to Sir-Toby.Com.

I've used MediaWiki for a large documentation project at work and so far it's been able to do everything I want. It has a learning curve for authors (e.g. link syntax, uploading mechanism) and it's very easy to trash/sabotage/logic-bomb other people's work unless you turn on login safeguards etc. As a story medium it could be very interesting as it allows complete interlinking instead of the tree structure of EAS.

I've been thinking again about the usefulness of some kind of wiki for episode guides, character lists, etc. This morning I had to explain a joke I made about One Stan to my boyfriend and where his name came from, and thought how it'd be nice if we had a repository for that sort of thing. I can try setting it up sometime this month if no one else wants to.

That would be excellent.

Sounds like a good idea.

I would absolutely love that.
