wiki

Please consider adding a wiki system. Wiki allows users to add content in an organized manner. Wiki would be like an all-encompassing, organized, searchable, editable FAQ. While forums are great for discussion, wiki is a much more suitable method to archive the outcome of the discussion for reference at a later time.

There are many great contributors on here that answer others' questions, many times over. It would be much easier to just refer them to a wiki entry on the subject. Wiki is great for assembling knowledge. Forums would still be better for very specific questions, like what particular kite is best for a particular situation, etc.

Wiki is largely insecure and therefore not allowed on this server. We will look into a better search mechanism. Thanks.

What aspects of security were you worried about? I mean yes, spam bots will flood an unsecured wiki with spam, but it won't effect the other pages on the server.

Not to mention with added spam protection, and maybe a verified user system would help do away with security concerns? I really like the idea of a wiki.

I'm in to help on the website design side of things. I got the hosting if you need it as well.
