Erwin has implemented a wiki for CF. You can look at it in its embryonic state here (http://www.christianforums.com/f593-christian-wiki.html).

To get it to grow beyond its embryonic state, the wiki need articles. It needs people to edit other articles.

It needs you.

To keep the CF wiki from being more troll-infested than the underside of the Billy Goats Gruff's bridge, the wiki can only be modified by members of the wiki team, although anyone can read it.

In a lot of ways, the CF wiki should be something like General Theology, but a bit better organized. In addition, the fact that there are lots of potential authors and editors should help the wiki to eventually stabilize as a good source of information on a lot of the topics that we discuss in GT.

You're probably saying right now, "But CaDan, how can I take advantage of this fine opportunity? Surely it will cost thousands of blessings and I just spent all my blessings on a new outfit for my CF character!"

Not to fear! It costs nothing to joing the CF Wiki Team. Not a single one of your hard-earned blessings will leave your CF bank account.

To take advantage of this offer, you just have to send a PM to me. Then, through the power of Teh Intraweb and Erwin's mad vBulletin skillz, I will be able to make you a member of the CF Wiki Team.

:D
:D It's just that easy! :D
:D

Not only will you be able to post and edit articles, you'll also qualify for the stylish WIKI adornment you see on this post. And you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that your work won't just fall off the front page of GT!

Get in on the ground floor. Be the first to write an article on whatever topic moves you. Join the CF Wiki Team!

Thinking about it, and an article or two for submission. Am I correct in assuming that the articles will be posted in the Wiki, but only discussed on various threads?

To a large extent, yes. However, the articles can be edited by any member of the wiki team.

It is a set of linked web pages that are editable by a large number of people.

How do I send you a PM? In case that is not necessary, sign me up.

Sending a PM is easy. The easiest way is to click the "Online/Offline" button at the top of a person's post. Also, if you click on a member's username at the top of a post, it will give you a list of actions you can choose from, including sending a private message.

I don't know how often CaDan checks these threads, so you might want to go ahead and send him a note. :)
