Possible N-PVR Wiki

[McBainUK]

I would strongly suggest a physically separate NPVR wiki as steeb's link is a hack at best and would be a nightmare to maintain long term.

I'm not bothered how its done behind the scenes. If a separate wiki make it easiest for those that maintain it, then I'm fine with that. I just want an end user experience giving them information solely about NPVR, with little more than a link back to the old GBPVR wiki (or part of the wiki if its done in the same wiki).

Ok, a seperate wiki would be a better experience for both users and authors. When can this be setup?

Last I heard Steeb was going to try setting it up on another server and let me know when he has something I could upload to the main server. ie, nothing for me to do at this stage.

Hiya Sub

Unfortunately last I heard some weeks back was that you had received contact from someone other than me about this, who IMO was better qualified than me to set about a new wiki construction. So I passed on any further work on this, apologies if I made an error in not telling you, but from what I understood this was a discussion in progress with you and other parties that did not need my involvement?

Hence no work from my point of view has been done on a 'brand new' wiki, just in trying to maintain some sort of N-PVR documents for now in a sensible location :-)

all the best

To be honest, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I just checked my private messages to/from steeb and we've only had the one brief exchange about the wiki, which consisted of you asking:

I hope all is going well in you world! I know it is not your bag but if some of us got an N-PVR wiki going in beta format on a web server would you consider uploading it to the 'new' domain of N-PVR or (whatever) when the time was right?

and me replying:

Yep, sure.

Steeb, Hariy and myself have been working this the last few weeks.

Here it is packaged up as a zip file ready to be uploaded to the main server. Rename the pmwiki folder to npvrwiki (or whatever), as you already have http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/. It has account control turned on with steeb and Hairy as editors and myself as admin. It's easy to add anyone to either group on request.

Yup that was the only exchange! I was simply under the impression that McBain had contacted you about a new wiki since we had that exchange, anyway doesn't matter now anyway.

He had contacted me earlier than your PM, asking if BladerSE was the still the person to talk to about wiki stuff, like setting up a new wiki. I replied that I was reluctant to ask too much of him, since I dont think he actively uses GBPVR these days, so I was probably going to be the person that would need to do anything required on the server. Soon after that I got your PM saying saying you were working on a wiki that I could upload when it was ready, so I was waiting for that to upload. As you say, it doesnt matter now.

Thanks. I've uploaded it to http://www.gbpvr.com/nwiki. Unfortunately I'm having some permission error which I havnt worked out the cause of yet.
