Re-write the WIKI?

Hi fellow FTers. I’m seeking input it whether it’s desirable to do a complete rewrite of the wiki to this thread. I’m particularly interested in hearing from both noobs who have recently been reading the wiki and also from experienced OWExplorer fliers.

I have some time on my hands over the next few months (the joys of being a retiree and full-time nomad who’s chillin’ in one of his favourite hang-out spots ZNZ ). So I’m proposing to do the work and am looking for suggestions on the desirability/content/structure/presentation of a new wiki.

My thoughts are:
  • The target audience is newbies who are thinking of doing their first RTW, but possibly also a reference resource for others (so keep it simple, maybe with links to more detailed information)
  • Need to get rid of outdated/incorrect information (for example: “Europe - Not more than two Europe/Middle East segments may be used for journeys between the U.K. and the following: …”)
  • Remove content which is not FAQ (for example the table of booking classes used by each airline)
  • Jazz up the look and feel of the wiki. I’m thinking of something like the BAEC Dashboard (a shout-out to [MENTION=17682]Prospero[/MENTION] who created the dashboard and is being a great help to me in understanding what needs to be done to create one; and also providing resources for me ^)
So, what are people’s thoughts??
