Why'd your Grandpa call you "son"? Wink

I still have a desire to build an RJ wiki. Because of all the hassles with small, supposed copyright issues at http://www.wikipedia.org, I think the best approach would be to bring it "in-house". I would like to set up my own wiki that, initially, will deal with RJ and other works by F. Paul. I would invite all members of this board, of course, to become editors for this wiki.

And my girlfriend suggested that it would be great to have a mechanism that would allow registered users to specify which works they have read/seen and then only present information based on those choices, in hopes of providing a spoiler-free wiki. Anonymous users would see no spoilers and only get the most generic information. And registered users could pick, if they so desired, a "Spoil Me!" option and be presented with all information regardless of whether it contains spoilers or not. I hope that through the use of some customized open-source wiki software or, worst-case scenario, a home-grown custom-built application, that such a "spoiler-free" methodology is possible.

Stay tuned. I will hopefully be providing more information on this in the coming months...

Dejo, that sounds intriguing and very ambitious. Do keep us posted.

That would be not only possible, but also not terribly difficult as a custom application. Wink

Sounds like fun, dejo! More power to your elbow!

Or perhaps even sooner. I was inspired yesterday and now have a basic wiki running locally on a spare iMac. My next move is to see if I can customize it to provide the spoiler-free presentation (a very helpful feature!).

I'm game as an editor.

Okay, got the RJ wiki "skinned" today. So, I thought I'd be a little cruel and show everyone a screenshot of the main page:

Try not to salivate too much.

Did you just get the wiki software, then skin it and modify it? The reason I ask is that we were building our own software, but I'm unsatisfied, so I'm looking for an alternative solution.
