Hi friends. So, I've been trapped under millions of books, articles and readings lately. I'm slowly making my way to the surface. I can smell the sweet air! Oh, how sweet! Or maybe that's Lisa's new perfume? You should smell her; she smells pretty.
Anyway, I thought I'd give you all a wiki update. It looks like we may have found the wiki we're going to use. I'm just waiting on the super awesome Radio 3 tech guys to look it over and give me the green light. The wiki software is called TikiWiki. You can look at all the specs HERE. Whatcha think?
The next step is brainstorming what sort of information we want the wiki to include. Of course, we encourage each page to feature the normal info like history, accomplishments, discographies, etc. But in the creative, thinking-outside-of-the-box spirit of Radio 3, it'd be nice if the wiki could feature other information that would be useful to the music community. Someone suggested having a section on venue pages where everyone can note nearby food joints so when you get the after-concert tummy-rumble, your stomach doesn't eat itself. So brilliant!
Another cool feature I'd like to work into the wiki is Google maps. For example, on artist pages, tour dates/venues/ticket info would be listed on a Google map. You'd click on that cool red dot thingy that represents your city and voila! You know all the details about an upcoming show.
Ultimately, though, the content that ends up on the wiki is up to you. Got any other cool ideas? Want to share the type of information you're planning to upload to the wiki? Let me know! I'm excited! Only two months left until you kids get to play with it!
