In December 2012 I hired a developer to make the first ever Wiki for an SMF forum.

I think it's been great and cut down on a lot of repeat questions, but more threads need Wikis and many threads have Wikis that have out of date info in them.

ChaimMoskowitz suggested that people should take ownership of a Wiki and take pride in it. If you would like to volunteer to be in charge of making and/or updating a Wiki or several Wikis that are on topics or places that you are passionate about then please post here.

A Wiki on a destination should contain all of the info needed so that someone can plan an awesome trip without having to spend days of research.

A Wiki on a mileage topic should have good background info and be able to preempt the most commonly asked questions.

So, who's in?

I'll start with being in charge of keeping the Cleveland Master Thread up to date

I've been doing the London one for quite a while.

Great!

If you can add your own ratings to places or which restaurants or activities really stand out it would be awesome.

I think the LA one has plenty of people keeping it up to date but I'll be happy to add if anything changes or a question keeps popping up.

I nominate you and Yehoshua to keep that one up to date and clean up any places that close down

maybe there should be some kind of credit by the username, just like DDMS deals as an incentive

I would help out with some thread in "Up in the Air".

Any opinions on which thread to start with?

The point is to actually make one yours, just agreeing to help out overall won't provide the push

Exactly, tell me which thread needs help and I will try to make it "mine"

Hey, what happened to my 'wiki contributor' title?

the credit is how one feels when they help out a fellow member or that occasional thank you that you will receive.
