Re: st: re: a wish list for Statalist
The *best* solution to my mind would be a
combination forum and Wiki where certain subject threads get
condensed
and transferred to the semi-permanent Wiki, a continually expanding
body of knowledge that is often more easily searched and scanned than
mailing list archives.
Now here's a suggestion! Wikis are ideally suited to a community
such as Stata users, whose accumulated expertise could be brought
to bear in a format that would allow collaboration, updating and
organisation.
As an occasional Wikipedian, I can vouch for the ease with which
users can learn to contribute, and the value of a medium which
allows you to have both the current page and the underlying
discussion between the contributors visible.
I just want to point out that the Biostatistics Departmental web site
at Vanderbilt University Medical Center is basically a big wiki site.
See for your self:
