Hello folks,
After I posted to the list a few days ago about reviving the OM Book
project, I started having a fiddle around with some Wiki software. I
also dug out the proposed contents list that was created after a couple
of weeks discussion when the book was originally proposed. The list of
topics there looks awesome and what a wonderful book it would be if it
were ever created. So I installed the Wiki software and put up the
contents list. If you want to have a look, follow this link:
http://ombook.world-traveller.org/index.php/Main/Contents
Does that sound like it would make an amazing book or what? If you're
interested, read on! Now the beauty of the Wiki system is that you can
write sections right now, no need for logging in or passwords or
anything. If you want to play around and see what Wiki can do, have a
go with
http://ombook.world-traveller.org/index.php/Main/Contents
Click on 'edit page' and have a poke around. You can read about the
whole Wiki philosophy here:
http://ombook.world-traveller.org/index.php/PmWiki/PmWikiPhilosophy
and there are some links to all the documentation and information you
could possibly need on the front page:
http://ombook.world-traveller.org/
I would think that almost every subject heading listed in the contents
could have an authoritative article written about it by someone or
indeed several people on the list. If you like the sound of the Wiki
Way, and you know anything about any of the topics in the list, why not
click on the question mark link and write a bit?
It may be that no-one's interested any more and the OM-book's dead, but
I think there's too much expertise on the list to not give it one more
go. That contents list is mouthwatering! I wouldn't like anyone to
think I'm trying to claim ownership of the project by putting up the
pages above - I'd just love to see it happen and hope that a bit of
webspace and bandwidth from me might help get it started.
Hope you'll give it a look,
Roger
