I do not see the need for an online aviation encyclopedia - in whatever form.

First evaluation

Post by Hans »

Hi,

We are now just over three months live with Scramble's Aviation Wiki. Time for a first evaluation.
  • Up until now 104 users have registered themselves.
  • Of these 104 less then 50% (ca 45) have actually contributed something.
  • For most of these 45 users, their contribution was rather limited, ranging from one or two remarks or uploading some images, usually within a time frame of one or two days.
  • Only a very small group of about 5 to 10 persons regularly contribute something.
  • A total of 190 articles have been created so far.
This is by no means an attack on all those people out there who haven't contributed (yet), although personally I had been hoping on more enthusiasm when we set this up :-)

Neither is this meant as an urge to start contributing!

But as we did put a lot of time and energy in it, and we need to keep on doing that in the future if we keep the Wiki, I'm very interested in what the prime reasons are it has not become that popular as I was hoping (and more or less expecting).

Therefore I set up a small poll to get a better understanding and determine we need to keep this Wiki or I better can do other things with my spare time.

Sincere regards,

Hans

Well, I like the Wiki and I want also to post some articles, BUT I don't understand how to start a new article. I have just two year English @ school so my English is not good. Maybe somebody wants to explain it to me in Dutch?

Greetings,
Joost de Wit
