The BDKR.wiki

27 Nov 2006

In celebration of our millionth hit, we are opening a BDKR wiki, together with user forums, all open for registered members. You can find it here (and it will shortly be linked into the menu system).

For a general idea of what a wiki is, you might want to follow this link. In general terms, it is a database which displays as a website. In this case, it can be viewed by anybody, and edited by any registered member. To register, you will have to go through a two-step process, involving your e-mail address - this is just so we can try to keep out the automated spammers.

We hope you will help to share your knowledge of Baedekers and Baedekeriana via the wiki. All the BDKR.com site main features will remain as they are, but, if the wiki experiment is successful, we might put new features there instead.

There are also user forums - please feel free to use them to post suggestions, but also to communicate with other Baedeker collectors and website visitors.

Finally, we hope you will enjoy the wiki and the forums, and also that you will bear with us if these new features have teething problems. We are using a freeware product called TikiWiki, which is fantastic, but also fantastically complex, and we may not have got all of it right just yet... Let us know through the e-mail - or post your views in the user forum!
