Okay, so this might be me going off the super-excited end, buuuuut, lookit!

eHow: Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything

It's a How-To Wiki!!!

Remember way back when when we were talking about getting a vidding wiki up, because it was a far too muti-pronged situation for any one site/person to be able to keep up with all the changes/innovations/problems-people-run-into?

Can we just use their engine to host vidding information you think? Have any ideas on possible pro's/con's? (It's far too late for me to be coherent/logical, so have at.)

[edit] aww, this:

"post or transmit any Content that infringes a third party's intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, trademarks, copyrights, patents, rights of publicity or rights of privacy;"

from the Terms of Use probably negates the idea.

Thoughts?

We need a password protected wiki.

I can throw a wiki up on my site easy enough, it's the password protecting thing that I'm still working on.

(Dreamhost has one-click wiki installation. But I know bupkis about coding. I have found two different sets of instructions for password protecting a wiki, I'm just not sure if I can make it work).

Once upon a time I had a wiki that was locked to registered members; no one else could read anything. I might be able to figure out how I did that, if it would help. *g*

[permetaform]

oooooooooooooo, yes please?

[zoerayne]

It had to do with the settings once the actual wiki was up and running.

You protected the pages and gave people permissions on an individual basis. They'd log in and could see things, but anyone not logged in (or who didn't have a login) couldn't see anything but the pages you left unprotected—the LOGIN PAGE needs to be one of those (because wow, that was a mistake I remember making *koff*).

How you do all of this might depend on the particular version of wiki you install; I haven't looked at DreamHost's version at all, but I'm sure it's got some kind of reference wiki for it.

huh!

ohhhh, awesome! I'll ask search a bit for password protecting too, and pass along any links to you.

z_rayne commented on how she did it, and I found this site that has multiple ways of password protection. I don't know if either of these situations are applicable to your situation tho. ::is still mildly confuddled by server terms::

we still on for tomorrow?
and you're going to have to explain vid-ing to me one day, because I'm completely baffled as to how to do it.
cheers.
