    Well, I've added some contributions.
    It took a little time to figure out the syntax (and I am a geeky guy).
    The results are nice.

    I gotta think it would be best to back up the source code periodically in case of vandalism.
    Sure you can "revert" changes but I'm guessing it's a more complicated process than you might think.

    Check out the FAQ and, if you think of additional content you'd like to see there but don't feel comfortable with making the changes yourself, post a request here.
    Maybe someone will do the work for you. ;)

    Thanks!

    Although there's some duplication of information, and the layout is abusing the table of contents a bit, the information is there. :)

    B) I reduced the TOC abuse a bit.

    Wow, did you two do all the work on that? (Credit where credit is due, if members are telling others about it and where it "came from"). I've had time to carefully read only half yet, but it looks great!

    Someone should ask Danny to add the FAQ to both "Welcome to PriusChat" and the smaller "Navigation box". Is one of you going to?

    Thanks. Now we can smugly and rudely wave off newbies with covered questions!
    :p

    (I wouldn't do that...)

    Thanks Jack!
    NuShrike took the initiative and did all the initial setup.
    I think it's only been the two of us so far.
    Not really sure how to tell other than content.
    I like the idea of having a central repository for the most useful and reliable information.

    Kiloran,

    2 ?s. First, what's the URL again? Second, what's the scope of the FAQ thus far? Anything in there on tyres?

    Uh oh! I sense a poll coming on! :D

    No, from a quick search on the word "Tire" (go figure) in the topic title only I think I'll have plenty to go on. I'll compile a bunch of information and then get back to you on the uploading to wikipedia when I'm at that stage.

    Gimme about a week or two. We've got a 2.5 month old who's more into bottles than tyres for dad's car. :D

    You can look at the "History" tab to see who's been contributing. FourOhFour did a lot previously also, and there's been other miscellaneous contributions. Create a (free) account, and get your name in there.

    I think it's getting filled enough to start breaking off sections to different pages, or pushing some of it back to the main Prius page on the Wikipedia where it could belong.
