Current Basics:
For the anyone to work with (edit, add to, etc) the Quality Assurance Wiki I have to manually add the person as a user. I have been unable to find a way to require e-mail verification (like in this vBulletin software).
If you are interested in helping out, just PM Marc and I can set up a user account where you can edit and make new pages.
I want to use this thread for any discussion, as well, rather than in the wiki for now because I want the outside opinions and thoughs of any registered forum users on what and how.
In addition, there are some technical aspects which may come up. I would also prefer to discuss them here rather than in the wiki for now. I think the format here lends its self better to discussion.

Early posts split from he 'Quality Assurance BOK Wiki Help Wanted' thread.

Marc,
I like your idea of a quality-focused Wiki.
If you haven't seen these, Wikipedia has a couple pages that can help with the start-up:
a Guide to layout where the look of articles is defined;
and their page for Wiki Markup.
I don't have the time to dedicate to the job as described, but I've been noodling with Wikipedia lately (see my user page) and can do most basic functions - starting pages, adding links, adding pictures - and would be willing to help as things move along.

This thread is to start a dialog for those interested in participating in, or opining on, the Elsmar Cove Quality Assurance BOK (Body of Knowledge) Wiki.
Today I installed version 1.8.2 of MediaWiki (EDIT: 8 December 2006). However, I have severely restricted access. We simply do not have enough people to monitor for vandalism. So - at this point the wiki is Locked Down and is only open to editing by Registered Elsmar Cove Forum visitors who request access.
