Okay, here are the rules of the game.

Most of you probably won't be really familiar with wiki, so here's the skinny.

Entering data in the wiki is more-or-less like entering plain text, except you add a bunch of special symbols to make special things, like links, happen. This page can be linked just by naming it in double-square-brackets: FAQ Recovery. I just typed [[FAQ Recovery]] to make that happen.

Learn a little more about Wiki editing, you can either view the sources for other pages on this site (click 'edit'), or (much better!) read the manual. It is here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing#Editing_basics

Now, the goal here is simple. Take FAQ articles from the FAQ mirror at http://ninja250.kingston.net/cgi-bin/faq-index.cgi and make them into wiki content in here, http://faq.ninja250.org.

The pages should look the same on both sites when you're done. Images and image thumbnails should not be linked from the oldimages directory; rather, they should be downloaded to your computer and uploaded "fresh".

I would suggest cutting and pasting content whenever possible. This should both reduce the amount of work to do, and decrease the number of typographical errors.

I will now post Work Assignments. Keep an eye on that page, if there is work assigned to you, do it. When it is done, mark an X to the left of it and ask for more.

Note editting the Work Assignments page -- get in and out as fast as possible. I don't know what happens if two people edit the same page at once.
