By wiki, do you you mean Wikibooks?
I don't think there's another 'active' one, and I don't think there's a Wiki facility on the Wings3D website (wherever it is hosted). Is that true?
Anyway, the use of Wordpress and wikimedia software imply two different editorial/control approaches.
Wikis are designed for sandboxy activities, eventually knocking stuff into shape, by a process of evolution, survival of the wittiest - or thickest skinned
.
There's still valuable material on the Wikibooks site, even in the archeological sense. I've been looking at the current material with a view to bringing it up to date - but aiming it 'Getting Started' level, because that's where I'm at.
The pdf 'Handbook' also has good 'getting started' stuff in it, but it's not always a straight shoe in to move the material across.
Worth a bash though, isn't it!!?!
oort - if you want to discuss further then drop me a mail.
Cutting text from a (your) pdf file into a wiki is a doddle. (I use Foxit).
NB: Not sure that using Wikibooks purely as a sandbox for material to be moved elsewhere is approved of by the Wiki editors - who can get a bit sniffy about style, bad references, etc. So it should look like we mean it.
