TriumphTalk WiKi

[DaveM]

I am thinking about setting up a Triumph Wiki for us. However providing the actual content may be a huge amount of work. So are any of you up to helping me out with providing content once I reach that stage :y18:

 

[CarlS]

I can help you - if it doesn't require programming.

 

[otherwise]

What's a WiKi?

[DaveM]

No programming should be required once I get my head around how it works and set it all up. It would just be the content that I would need help with :y114:

 

[otherwise]

If I understand, from what I saw from that link, Dave is going to set up an entry in the on line encyclopedia Wikipedia.

 

[CarlS]

Kevin, you are correct and he is asking for help with the content.

 

[DaveM]

That is correct I would setup the software as we need it and then I would just need help populating it with content. I am still in the stages of finding a software that would be very easy to use by all of us. That would especially include loading content into it :y18:

 

[The Seeker]

Sorry but I don't grasp what a TriumphTalk Wiki would be for????

There's already a WIKI for Triumph Motorcycles, motorcycles, motorbikes, etc.

 

[DaveM]

So there is I did not know about this one so no point in going any further on our one then :tongue:

 

[grandpaul]

There, I posted a page. Does it show up?

 

[The Seeker]

I just didn't know what you had in mind.

Here's the link to the main Triumph Motorcycles WIKI page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Motorcycles

Here's the link the the classic Triumph Co page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Engineering_Co_Ltd

And here's the link to the new Triumph Company:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Motorcycles_Ltd

 

[DaveM]

As I said I did not know about these ones so no point in doing another

Paul, I did not find the page you posted. But then, I don't know much about using Wiki either.

Dave=glutton for punishment. :ya2:

 

[The Seeker]

I didn't mean to shoot it down just like that.....I seriously was only wondering what type of content the proposed Wiki site would have.

 

[DaveM]

Looks like it would have been the type of content that is already in the others :y114:

Oh...OK, nevermind! ;-)

 

[DaveM]

I have been giving this some more thought and this is what I have come up with. I am thinking of making this a technical resources WiKi. I remember how I struggled to find technical info when I first got my Speedmaster in 2005. So basically this is the idea. Have different areas as in

Bonneville

PDF

Tuning Notes for the Triumph “Bonneville†Family of Motorcycles
Any other that we can find listed below this

Then an area after that say

Modifications

We have some great info here posted by our members like this one from Gump Main Sprocket T140E (Not sure how much we would have to pay Gump to use his stuff )

Now I have been playing with the software and I see major work ahead just getting it to a point where content can be posted to it. So if anyone is still up for helping me find content let us know. The thing with posting links to technical content we find would sort out any Copyright issues and will give credit to the person who actual compiled the source document or pages :y18:

 

[CarlS]

I will help.
