Wiki -> Techi …a brief history and introduction

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

I was recently asked, “So what is this Techi project on all the scene sites?” Well let me try to give some background and more information about this community project.

Brief History. Right from their website, “Wikipedia is a multilingual, Web-based, free-content encyclopedia project.” A “wiki” is a type of collaborative website and “pedia” just comes from the word encyclopedia. The purpose of a wiki is for a community of users to collaborate together and contribute articles that provide links to guide the user to related pages with additional information. A wiki is edited by anyone in the world and is done by volunteers. Here are a few examples so you can see what a wiki looks like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website

Introduction to the Techi. In our network, we have users that have so much experience and deep desire to help others that we are beginning to develop a community project called the Techi. It is a collaboration that will be unique to each of our websites and will involve all our users. There are 3 levels of contributors to our Techi project: any Website user, Techi Moderator, and Techi Administrator.

Website user - Any registered user on our sites that can post information for the Moderators to review.
Techi Mod - Registered users that have been chosen to review all infromation contributed by the website’s users
Techi Admin - Website Admins will choose the Mods to manage all information and will have the final decision on the organization and infrastructure of the data collected.

Infrastructure. The basic setup will be a new forum section added called “Techi.” In this section, there will be subsections that a user can choose from. Within a subsection, a user can start a new thread or contribute to an existing thread. Then the Mods will collect this information and begin to post under the outline that has been setup by the Admins. You can see a basic outline here for MazdaBscene.com: http://mazdabscene.com/techi/index.html

So keep your eyes peeled, we will be adding this new Forum section soon and hope you can be apart of this community project. The Techi will only be as good as what our users can contribute, so we hope that you can help us out! This will be as simple as finding old/new threads on the site that store the technical information we are looking for. Or maybe you can dig deep into other sources like paper/pdf Manuals or other Internet sources. The Techi’s main purpose is to provide a primary source of information for a “scene site” vehicle make/model for all users or visitors. Keep an eye out, it’s coming soon to a scene site near you…
