wiki offline

The area is an open house for a reason, all is open for chatting and such like and stuff. Treat this area like a conference evening social. You can talk science ask silly questions and by rude and drunk to other scientist who are also rude and drunk. Rude not in a mean way just in like that happy tipsy way. Basically an area to be casual and mellow in! If this area had a theme song it would start with - Making your way in the world today.....

I'm thinking about taking the wiki offline. Apart from the excellent post made by Jeppe there are a few of my crazy rantings and thats about it.

Although I think its a good concept we just haven't got the time in our busy lives to populate it fully. I won't purge the system, I'll leave it offline update it and bring it back when the forum is stronger.

What do you think?

If it takes effort to keep it, get rid of it for the time being, but if not, what harm is there in leaving it?

Dead bodies give not a good picture of a website. Therefor I would also remove it.

There is little point running the wiki if there is no content in it. Let the forum grow more then when there is more forum content you can start to build the wiki.

What is a good online resource site to learn about science in general other than Wikipedia? I would greatly appreciate any links to a website that covers science topics from physics to biology. I know about Wikipedia, but are there any other sites such as that?

To be honest often you can find a lot of good stuff in the University lecture webpages. Or even more oddly on YouTube. Some lecturers have started to record their lectures and put them on there. I have no sort of general specific site as it is dependent on what sort of area you are trying to learn about at any one time.
