A Treasure Trove of Singaporean Knowledge
-
We need YOUR help!
Please go to www.sgwiki.com.
It's a collaborative knowledge project for Singapore. Anyone can register and add in their little bit of knowledge to the project, extend it, correct stuff, make stuff more pretty, add an article, add a photo, whatever! anything and everything!
Right now its got all sorts of info about mainly buses and homosexual related topics- sounds odd yes, but we're a 'niche' provider at the moment
We need more people to chip in and contribute their knowledge, even if its only about a small thing, if everybody does a bit it will snowball into a critical mass and then it'll be unstoppable. it can be about anything and everything! from Lesbians to Legislation, Zebra crossings to Zoos, Apples to Ang Pows!
LET'S GO! -
Buses and homosexuality.
Whose fault now?

Obviously the gays, the lesbians, and the over-enthu bus fans.Originally posted by charlize:Buses and homosexuality.
Whose fault now? Perhaps I should start an account and share my expertise. -

Jason has a point. There exists much knowledge in-house or locally among citizens. By developing a work culture for innovation and knowledge application, all the tasks can be performed finally with in-house brands of expertise.
Furthermore, knowledge is not limited to academic or paper knowledge. In every enterprise there exists its own in-house expertise and practical knowledge.
If in-house staff are working as a team with coordination and knowledge application, the enterprise will over time develop to be its own best.
So it is self-reliance and nurturing or development of our own talents that will contribute more than the hype about foreign or famous talents from don't-know-where-and-when.
Governing elites have been making too many assumptions about progress, competitiveness that is based on what we do not have without knowing what they really need or want.
Talents are like dark cats in the proverbial dark room. How to search. Even those presumably to be talents are not delivering results nowaday. Those who are not recognised as talents may be the true talents as long as they are contributing to applications of whatever they are doing well. These practical knowledge are being bypassed or neglected for a long time to promote only proverbial foreign talents for self-serving reasons. -
Yesterday ST got an article on wikipedia

No it won't! Now users need to confirm their emails before they are allowed to edit. I know... more hassle, but necessary to protect against vandalism. So... No reason not to chip in now!Originally posted by FireIce:half of wats in there are being or will be vandalised anyway

since so much hassle, some users wont bother to chip in. Unless they are really hardcore and really passionate about it.

Since you know me so well.Originally posted by LazerLordz:last line is a lie, the first two were smoke bombs.
Why don't you share your expertise on me then? -
will the idea of putting up sgforums be rejected?
-
Will people write about facts or themselves? i wonder....*scratches head*

In any wiki (online encyclopedia), you're expected to be neutral.Originally posted by BillyBong:Will people write about facts or themselves? i wonder....*scratches head*
Example of biasedness:
Hitler was a great leader. His attitude spurred on the German troops. He was a great man. I will be proud of him. (Of course I don't like Hitler...)
Example of neutrality:
sgforums has many topics where people come together to chat. However, in such forums, you're expected to see some rubbish in there. -
Confirm e-mail then won't vandaliseOriginally posted by Jason:No it won't! Now users need to confirm their emails before they are allowed to edit. I know... more hassle, but necessary to protect against vandalism. So... No reason not to chip in now!

Finally, the subways entry has been updated, with station names from CCL stages 4 & 5.

I did try to contribute to SgWiki, but the trouble is, the administrator is always not around, and one user would dominate the entire landscape, putting subjective posts inside.
I found that rather unacceptable, so I stopped going there.
Now that I see SgWiki adopting the main page I suggested before I left, I will monitor the situation. If there is an improvement in the management, I might consider contributing again. -
