The Wiki Pitch

Yesterday, we announced that I was jumping into the role of managing the official EE Wiki. I want to reiterate my call for help from the community.

We have a great resource in the wiki and it just needs a little more love and attention from the community to make it even better. I already have a list of ideas to make it better, but it’s not just what I want; tell me what you want the wiki to do (or not do). Even if you don’t have time participate in maintaining the wiki, your ideas for wiki improvements would be extremely helpful.

Here’s my pitch (as posted on the EE Blog yesterday):

The EE Forums are an integral part of our work developing websites with ExpressionEngine. It’s an invaluable resource when troubleshooting implementation issues and looking for unique ways to solve old challenges.

Because of the popularity of the EE Forums and EllisLab’s ability to foster such an excellent community in that space, one of the other valuable but often overlooked resources is the EE Wiki. And I’m onboard to help change that.

I’ve been asked by EllisLab to take the reigns of the EE Wiki and make a great resource even better. But, as they say, I can’t do it alone. I’m looking for a small team of individuals to help me keep the wiki up-to-date, weed out outdated pages and, most importantly, encourage others to add their content to the wiki.

Our sister community, CodeIgniter, is a great example from which we should learn. They have an actively mantained wiki and a small team of people that volunteer their time to keep it up-to-date with useful and relevant content. Now it’s our turn.
