Musicproduction wiki?

[crazykarl]

I had this idea during the holiday in December. I did some research back then. If my memory serves me right: the wiki site I was thinking of using is free for 30 days and then it has varying tiers that you can use, I wanted the $20 a month one which allowed you to use your own domain name. It's definitely a feasible idea.

In addition to what you mentioned I thought of detailing gear used for each song (ex: Kirk Hammett used a Gibson Flying V to record the solo to Master of Puppets) and each tour as well.

The people on this forum have amazing knowledge. you guys have helped me so much without knowing it... just by reading threads on subjects i was curious about. this is the best forum i have ever been a part of. i dont post too much, but i read almost everything every day. with that being said....a music production wiki done by people here would be absolutely AMAZING. i say DO IT.

Lets take this one step further shall we?
Ever thought of making a BOOK about music production? nothing HUGE...but something with alot of great tips and knowledge. id contribute to help with costs of materials. im sure others would too. id even buy a copy of the finished product of course. i only own one book on production. its ok i guess, but id rather read a book full of real tips by guys here; the real fuckin warriors of the music production world. anyway, its just an idea.

Is it just me, or does that wiki seem to be more general stuff about recording and some random gear? I was thinking that this musicproduction wiki would be more about the how records were made, and it would be more targeted to people like us, who already know something about recording.

And digitaldeath, read your PM.

Well I could always set one up on my server if enough people are interested...

What is the progress on this?

Anything I can do to help let me know. Information, help with maintance i'd love to contribute.

 

[ahjteam]

well we need to get the wiki running somewhere first, that is the problem currently

Still need the wiki to start this project... If digitaldeath doesn't have the time, is anyone else interested in doing the hosting and technical stuff to setup and maintain the wiki?

I'll have to check my hosting contract, but it's probably not enough traffic :/

I'm still interested in doing this... Does anyone know where I could host this thing?

Sorry I dropped the ball on this one, trying out different Wiki systems on my host now to see what they're like!

If you are still up to it I would prefer MediaWiki with Cite extension

 

[digitaldeath]

No problem! I don't have SSH access so I hope I can do it all from cPanel (should be able to).

can't you transfer the files via ftp? I mean there are like 1500 files in the mediawiki...

digitaldeath has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space.

I sent you the email

Cheers dude, I'll try get this setup as soon as I can!

Cool! can you give me an estimate when it is done (Today, tomorrow, sometime later this week or next week?), so I can start working in it?

Today!

But it will just be in a sub-directory on my server, if it gets popular I will purchase a domain for it.
