<VV> pedia

>As a club, we should collect such technical information and put it online. But since we're a club, it should be accessible only to paid-up club members. It should be in the form of a wiki-type of format, fully searchable and editable by club members. Think of it as the CORSA Tech Guide online edition, a continuation of what goes into the CC every month.

Since *I* like the idea of a wiki tech data base, it must be doomed to 
disregard   ;-)

The Tech Guide is a wonderful resource though and I'm not sure how one 
would justify CORSA charging for it with the same type data online 
somewhere --  electronic vs print, again.

I do like Helt's Basic Corvair, sort of a drivetrain tech guide, with 
everything assembled into one cohesive text -- if it only was indexed 
...  a wiki, like the VV archives, would be searchable, even if just by 
Google, and at least, it might bring people into the CORSA website, and 
then maybe, even into CORSA, ala ancestry.com (we have some info, but 
you have to pay up to see it -- personally, I find this "tease 
advertising" distasteful, but it does seem rather commonplace these days).

Wiki's do seem to be a successful concept, however, and it could be a 
way to start the companion Advanced version of the Corvair Basics book.

just thinking out loud --
