I've asked pw in pm what he thought about setting up a (new) wiki for Dig, and he thought it could be a good idea to start that up. When Aoshi brought it up a while ago he mentioned he likes the wikia system, and I rather do as well. If I end up making the wiki that'll probably be what I use, but if anyone else would like to create the wiki using some other system (such as actual wiki software on a server) that'd be fine by me as well, but in that case said person would be responsible for maintaining it.
So, any thoughts on this? PW indicated that we'll still have to post our sheets, but it can still be handy for things like tag recipes or what materials get what tags (so we can avoid asking the same thing a million times or having to use the forum's search function, which is less than stellar IMO). Also things like chronicling our misadventures or documenting game mechanics that aren't in the rules (such as the overkill rule).
FAKEDIT: When I mentioned it in irc, some comments already came up, such as Egan hating on wikia because it's laggy for him, and some people who think a google docs might be better.
I personally like wikia cause it works good for me and I know how to work with it, but there are several other free wiki options out there:
http://www.techlearning.com/default.aspx?tabid=100&entryid=583Wikidot was mentioned as a good service that works nicely, but I have no experience with it.
I don't think 1/multiple google docs files would be very convenient, and since Egan didn't really come up with an alternative, I'm personally still in favor of wikia. But, if there's any other free online wiki service that doesn't require a personal server that people have had good encounters with, feel free to let us know.
So, thoughts/opinions?
Oh,and we're still discussing it in the chat as we speak so feel free to hop on over!
