Dunno, keeping an entire Wiki up to date with just us guys would be a lot of work.

And the main community websites (like Eorzeapedia) are always going to be more detailed and up to date than you no matter how hard you try, simply due to the sheer number of users, making the thing probably a little pointless. Pretty sure Zam's wiki already lists every single item in the beta. Competing with these is probably just gonna be a waste of people's time.

That leaves using it for just rare or important LS info. Using FFXI as an example it could just be used for strategies for things like how to fight Fafnir, paths through Dynamis, etc. Stuff you couldn't really find on the public wikis. That makes it just a neat way of storing and sorting what would be a lot of old private forum threads.

i think we should keep some kind of information database at least until the big websites start organizing it

I agree with whisp, even though the more popular wiki pages will probobly always be ahead of the game, I think it would be a good idea to start building some sort of database where we can record our own findings. Like cads fishing experience for example, that's helpful information that might not make it on a wiki right away.

I agree with Ket and Whisp. Id never want to see this as a long term wiki, just something we use during the startup. Maybe even make it private.

Sounds good. Any format for a repository would be acceptable, and wikis are always fun. So if we use it to simply store our crafting findings, then I'm totally game.

I want to poke around and practice some weaving stuff!
