I completed the purchase of www.cigarwiki.com this afternoon. I noticed that the cigar community is lacking any sort of “wiki” type site. My idea is to setup a site using MediaWiki (the same software which runs www.wikipedia.org). I’m kind of thinking that the site will become a sort of community editable “encyclopedia of cigars”. What do you guys think?

For those of you who don't know what a Wiki is, hereare some good, quick resources:
http://wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
It would be interesting to see if it would fly.
Well, that was easy, took me all of about 10 minutes to get MediaWiki up and running.
I got to spend some time on a skin and get a game planasto what I actually want it to become, but pretty cool sofar.
If anyone is interested here is the MediaWiki Users Guide:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User's_Guide
It goes into the software from a users perspective, an editors perspective, or a sys admin perspective.
I worked on the cigar wiki a bit over the weekend. I got a logo up and started working on a help page.
I need to sit down and think of some basic categories for people to write articles in. Thats next on the agenda.
