[DML] Repeated Questions Solution: DeLorean Tech Wiki?

[Joe Angell <jangell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone thought of setting up a DeLorean Tech Wiki?  I'm sure  
everyone is familiar with Wikipedia.  It seems like it would be quite  
useful to have something similar for DeLorean owners.

The idea would be that anyone could post the results of our forum  
discussions to it, including answers to common questions about tires,  
oil, how to take things apart and replace parts, step-by-step guides,  
performance upgrades, cross reference lists and so on, as well as more  
esoteric things like customizations, DIY upgrades, etc..  It could  
even host copies of the various manuals and provide a one-stop, user- 
maintained resource.

The idea is that the forums would be a place to discuss solutions, and  
the wiki would be a place to catalog the results in an easy-to- 
reference form.

This would only work if there was a critical mass of articles up, and  
it was well sorted.  It might alleviate some of the "search the  
forums" posts (although there could be a button on the Wiki for that,  
too :) ), and searching the wiki would be a lot easier and might  
provide -- on a single page -- information that would otherwise span  
dozens of forum posts.

Anyway, just a thought.
