Looks like someone didn't check to see if there was already a wiki:

Me wonders if this means there's going to be a wiki competition. LOL

I'm not even expecting this to get off the ground... NSWiki is just a Diamond mine where this is like a quartz mine...

I doubt NSwiki will be beat by a wiki that requires you to log in to edit, and has no wiki-code support.

Actually, I always thought requiring a login was better than allowing anonymous editing.

Yeah. The log in part can be daunting for people new to the site but at the same time, I can see how it would help prevent things like random vandalism.

As per the wiki support. That's a good point. It looks like it uses something called point and click. It's similar to using word processor like editing. So in a way its simpler to use.
But you can change to classic editor at any time if you want to use some wiki code.

well, I would have to disagree. It is agianst the whole "any-one can edit" thing. And it does more harm then good when it is hard to find the register link.

Looks like its been closed for technical reasons. Probably why we can't get in or register at the moment.

But he added a couple of sample pages.

One looks like a copy paste from wikipedia.
The other one looks like it's meant to be an example of the possibilities for the wiki once its reopened.
