I went to add an article to the knitting wiki today and found that the number of articles had doubled overnight. How cool is that? :-)

A big thank you to everyone who has embraced the project! It's very heartwarming to see that we have had 12 people sign up already (other than myself and Mr Knittingand), and the wiki has only been open for a couple of days.

I was especially happy to receive several emails from people who said they knew nothing about editing wiki pages but they had a go and asked me to check if they'd done it right. They'd both done a brilliant job & I really appreciate their have-a-go attitude to the project.

I've started a knitwiki yahoo group for anyone who wants to add new articles. That way we'll have a very public chat community to help each other. Not only will that allow editors to share their research, but it will provide a place for people to go for help if they want to add new articles but are a bit scared of the software.

Now I just have to figure out how to add the subscribe form to the Wiki! Off to the mediawiki users forum!
