Re: [wiki]: Bringing FIRSTwiki back

We do need some people to volunteer to be regular admins, but I think it should be sufficient for someone to check briefly every day or two.

I'm also happy to pay for a domain name. firstwiki.org and first.wiki are taken, so I was thinking about firstrobotics.wiki. Any other suggestions?

It's obviously not my call, but I'd be happy to help with switching over to the MediaWiki and contributing. I think getting more in line with the wiki format over the GitHub format is a bigger deal than you might think.

Either way, I haven't forgotten that I said I would try and help contribute to FIRSTWiki. I still am wanting to help contribute, and I would be willing to increase my level of involvement if you choose to move over to MediaWiki and need the manpower.
