Thanks!


As a part of this project I'm hoping to get community feedback which I have not yet received from Ubisoft Reflections as they promised :( .

I'm not in anyway blaming they guys at Ubisoft Reflections, they must have very busy schedules and I've only given them 12 days.

Therefor I have decided to use some of the editors to provide feedback at how I've organized the DriverWiki. So you all can let me know how I'm going and don't forget to leave any suggestions for improvement if you feel it's needed. This will help me develop and improve the driverwiki over the future.

Before downloading and completing the survey I suggest you read this entire post first.

DriverWiki is available at http://www.driverwiki.com/ .
I plan to template the DriverWiki before I publicly release it, so it looks like a driverwiki rather than wikipedia pages on the driver series.



Once I setup the DriverWiki I start developing content. I've used this year to devise a site structure, a plan and design editors can use to keep the wiki looking consistent.



Examples of these pages would include



http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... /DPL_Music

An example template page to be used by editors to write about the music in Driver: Parallel Lines.



http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... /Miami/001

http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... /Miami/002

http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... /Miami/003

http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... /Miami/004

http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... /Miami/005

http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... /Miami/006

http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... /Miami/007

http://www.driverwiki.com/index.php?tit ... /Miami/008

Pages I've started off with the template I created for vehicles in Driver 3. I captured the images from the PC Version of Driver 3 and then used the I-Guide as a reference for vehicle specifications.



In the future editors and myself plan to write about these vehicles and create pages for the rest of the vehicles in the series.



I have also written articles about numerous aspects of the driver series, editors and myself plan to significantly expand on this in the future.

The Driver Madness article has numerous corrections made by an "English Editor" whose job is to improve the English used within an article. Recently I started organizing editors on the Driver Madness forums, these editors help the future of the DriverWiki by writing articles for it. You can see a list of verified editors here.


http://www.forum.drivermadness.net/index.php?f=141 (public DriverWiki discussion)

http://www.forum.drivermadness.net/index.php?f=148 (private editor discussion)

http://www.forum.drivermadness.net/index.php?f=150 (private editor projects)




Public DriverWiki Discussion is where any member of the forum can request to become an editor or discuss the wiki in general.



Private Editor Discussion is where editors can discuss anything about the wiki which I'm not ready to make public at the moment.



Private Editor Projects is a place where I've set up projects which DriverWiki editors may register to complete, alternatively editors can request there own projects upon approval then they can start writing articles and add them to the driverwiki. Since editing has only been open for just over a month not to many editors haven't created many articles yet.



http://www.forum.drivermadness.net/viewtopic.php?t=976 (Project: English Editor)

http://www.forum.drivermadness.net/viewtopic.php?t=980 (Project: Driver 2 Content Creator)

http://www.forum.drivermadness.net/viewtopic.php?t=998 (Project: [REQUEST])



Other than that feel free to look around; if you have any comments or questions feel free to ask.



During the next couple of months I'll have a lot more time on my hands and I plan to setup projects for all the other games within the driver series for editors to selectively complete. I'll also submit an entire walkthrough of Driver: Parallel Lines and other members can use this as a guide for other driver titles to keep pages looking consistent.



I also plan on adding a fairly large downloads section where visitors can download demos, mods, patches, tools, videos, screenshot packs, fansite kits, ect. and hopefully fully implement a news portal so regular users can keep in touch with the latest driver news.



As a part of this project I'm hoping to gather some feedback from members of the community including yourself.

Please copy and complete the feedback form below and send it back to me whenever you've completed it.
