Well, I finally got round to start making my massive Tech Guide, 6 months after I said to myself I would. This is a very early WIP and is only to show the style it will be and as of now has no actually useful content (Please be aware that the MS Word style used will most likely change)...

This thread is mostly to ask for suggestions or for volunteers to help write this Tech Guide. It is going to be a few hundred pages long (If not longer) and will feature over 200 Tutorials.

So please post any suggestions or a willingness to help out :D, I plan to have the first version complete for September,

It is a good idea, but possibly more effort than it's worth.

Also, the prefered term around here is geek, not nerd :8.

You should really setup a hosted Wiki using the MediaWiki script, ill download and have a look in a min.

Can I add. I think the grey makes it too bland, Maybe change that? :) The rest is good though :P Still think you should get a wiki though

The Design is all temp tbh, and I may make a wiki as well later on however it is difficult to find a decent host and someone willing to keep paying for it :P.

I'm sure someone around the forum would be willing to host it for you for free considering it's a free source of information. On another note, I liked the grey layout in the PDF lol.

I could possibly provide the hosting if you needed, though it would be without a CP so ftp only and you'd have to bug me every time you wanted a database :p

You'd only need one database, FTP access and a bit of Apache with PHP so it'd be pretty easyyy

I'd be willing to host you on a subdomain of lolz.co.uk :) Drop me a PM if you're interested in a MediaWiki!

It's people like you that end up posting useless threads asking for help, now if you're not going to post anything constructive leave the thread.

Good to see there's intrest in this, I will be away for about a month in a couple of days with about 8 hours between getting home from Scout Camp and going on holiday (No joke). I will try and get some of it typed up on some sort of iPod App (Fun Fun Fun!) and get a bit uploaded in the short turn around.

Oh and of course (Because it's my favourite thing today):http://www.bereanbaskets.com/images/pl_aajw109p.jpg

In the OP's abscense, I will probably set up a MediaWiki and get things started off on my hosting :) If other people are interested in helping, drop me a PM with your MSN.

Sure you can take over for the 4 weeks that I'll be gone from tomorrow :). A Good logo may be nice....
