I have a few questions...

AFAIK people can create their own wiki site, right?

Why don't you guys create a wiki section @ SC?

We can then create a very nice reverence manual guide for XML & MAKI Scripts...

Here is a guide. Dont know much about these stuff though:

as I said... limited knowlege of this stuff.. but here goes...

I already changed the custom url to "http://wiki.skinconsortium.com"

That is step 2 out of 2.... all that is left to do according to the step by step guide is to do this...

"Change the DNS settings with your registrar to point your domain name to your Wetpaint site"

Does this sound right?

ok i've hosted http://wiki.skinconsortium.com
everyone can contribute!!
what should be done:
different categories:
*winamp modern skins
*xion skins
*general coding
*general graphics
...

for winamp modern skins we should have a good intro, how is a wal created? the structure of files, what is what in xml!
then we should explain some maki features.
perhaps we can copy some info from

http://www.winamp.com/nsdn/
and http://docs.wasabidev.org/wasabi_developer_manual/

i'm sure they won't mind if we don't copy 1:1 and leave credit

please create your accounts! admin pw is sent to sylvester/and the forum admins!

yee!

Quad, do you still have your previous forum avatar? The one with the round SC logo? We can maybe use that for a logo on the wiki...

I think for graphics in the wiki, we should have to photoshop style presets to assist people with design.

Take out the swearing, just looks unprofessional.
