Why would you use FIRSTwiki?

Max Lobovsky · #1 02-07-2004, 14:38

Now that FIRSTwiki is more than a month old and it has grown to an appreciable size (83 registered users, 7000+ edits, ~300 content articles, and 1300+ meta, talk, and bot created pages), we are looking to get more community feedback on the project as sort of way to keep our course straight.

I think it will be a great resource when people have questions about older games. You can go back and look at the description, rules, etc. It will be a great hopefully-accurate account of the history of anything FIRST-related. And if it isn't accurate .. you can fix it.

[edit]oh .. its a poll. well. this stuff too.[/edit]

Now that some preliminary results are in, I'm surprised to see that "team info" is number one. I wouldn't think it would be that interesting to read about other teams. I hope people aren't thinking something like white papers from other teams; that would fall under the "how-to" vote. Regardless, the top three are what I expected, and I'm glad to see that those are probably the three main areas that FIRSTwiki covers.

all of the above.

I'm also thinking of writing a How to on Macros as functions.

I get to see Max every day, and he makes it a point to remind me to check it under threat of death.
