I propose we start a ZHP Wiki.
If you're not familiar with what a Wiki is beyond Wikipedia, check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki (lol @ the fact that the best definition is on wikipedia).
Basically, a wiki allows anybody to edit information pertaining to a particular topic. While I've no experience with managing a wiki, I'm assuming it can be set up so that only certain members can modify articles. Also, wikis are free to use.
A few of the great strengths of this forum is 1.) the immense knowledge of users, 2.) dedication of users, 3.) administration. The biggest weakness in my eyes is the searchability. It's limited to what the forum designers made and out of the control of administration/users. I think those three strengths, combined with a wiki, would eliminate the searchability weakness.
Possible articles/topics/subjects:
- Differences of ZHP over ZSP
- Chassis
- Engine
- Interior
- Exterior
- Driveline
- General E46
It could be run as www.wiki.zhpmafia.com or www.zhpmafial.com/wiki or even www.zhpwiki.com (or any other relevant URL).
I imagine a lot of the information would be relevant to the E46 in general, but with special emphasis on the ZHP.
For this reason, I think it would be acceptable if we discussed a "BMW E46" wiki option, too. Meaning, a ZHP Wiki vs E46 Wiki.
I'm willing to help out with the wiki.
So, what do we think?
