Audiolexic: The MacMusic's Wiki!, collaborative article database Options

[Francois Déchery]

After one month tesing it on the french side of MacMusic, here is the english version of Audiolexic, our brand new wiki at:

http://en.audiolexic.org/

A "Wiki" it is not a new moppet presented by Mister Rogers or a wireless transfer protocol but a true collaborative encyclopedia/article database where each user can add his brick to an incredibly useful knowledge database, whithout knowing HTML or any complicated language.

Our first idea was to create a didactic article section useful to music teachers but it fastly become a Lexicon, where anyone should, feel free to ad their personal contribution by printing their own article (can be small) about just anything that concerns music. From Digital Audio to MIDI, Synthesizers, Guitar, Percussion or Harmony, anything where you feel you can make this world smarter is good to print.

The French speaking MacMusicians have been very constructive about this project as we have already received over 300 pertinent articles and that, in less than a month! Would the english community be as productive?

This thread is intended to organize the growing wiki content, so please feel free to ask any questions about the wiki usage and content.

In the coming days, I will mod the help page, it'll be better/clearer thank to the great job of ThViaud on the FR side.

Just in the case you browse on the Wiki and you see strange spamming URL, don't bother, I watch out and remove/ban the offenders, it's a bug (major one!) of MediaWiki and till they don't find a real solution, I'll have to do the dirty job to clean the place regularly. If it happen, just send me a PM/email, I'll clean double quick if i'm in front of the computer.

Note, if among you are some people fluent enough in French, there's already a bunch of definition to translate into English. Else, you can create new ones from scratch
