Growing the Wiki

Ah was speakin with Jimbo Wales aboot buildin the commonty on the wiki here, an this is what he said, Ah thought ye may be interested:

“

I would say that some of the things that lead to success on small wikis are: 1. Don't have too many rules. Try not to make up or copy any rules from en.wikipedia until you have clear and overwhelming need for it. Gentle talk and loving friendship is always a better way. 2. Reach out to people in the broader commnity... language preservationists, community groups, professors.

”
