RoadGlue.com has been working on putting together a wiki dedicated to the
914. It is far enough along that we wanted to put the word out so that
people can both start using it and contribute content.

If you don’t know what a wiki is, it basically is a type of web site that
visitors can easily add, remove, and otherwise edit and change the
content. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective
tool for collaborative authoring. A wiki is not meant as a replacement
for a forum as they both have different strengths. A forum consists of
narrative threads that contain many posts while a wiki consists of
articles that have been contributed to by many people.

What this will do for the 914 community is allow for place to repository
for encyclopedic articles about the 914 and 914 related items. This could
range from many general history and technical articles to specific “how
to” articles.

The Porsche 914 Wiki at RoadGlue.com uses a content license that grants
free access to our content using the “copyleft” concept. The idea is that
the Wiki articles will remain free forever and can be used by anybody as
long as they follow the restrictions of the license. The license is used
to ensure that freedom. More details about the licensing can be found on
the wiki itself.

You can find The Porsche 914 Wiki here…

On the main wiki page is some information on “Getting Started”. This
should help both those or new and experience wiki users. We have also
created a number of stub articles to help get people started.

If you have questions about the wiki, you can visit the RoadGlue.com
forums here…

I'd like to publicly thank Richard Casto for taking control and running with the Wiki project. He's done a fantastic job.

Best regards,

VERY COOL.. Wiki's are great as long as they are maintained! Looking forward to it.

Excellent.

Randy,

Thanks for getting the word out. As you know, I am excited about the entire thing and hopefully my enthusiasm will rub off on others.

Richard

Randy,
Feel free to post about this over at ClubNARP.com also

Doug, you are right. As long as they have content, they are a good thing. I have tried to seed the wiki with some stuff to get it rolling, but we need those in the 914 community to step up and start adding content. At some point it is going to have enough of a critical mass regarding quality content that it will be an excellent resource for the entire community.

Richard

Thank you! I'll do that now.

Paint codes are practically complete if not fancy. Im working on the VIN's, Engine #'s and chassis numbers now, and they will be up early next week.

As always, notify me with any errors you spot.
