Post subject: | Knowledge Distribution |
In my nearly year and a half in the firearms community I have had the pleasure of meeting many interesting people. Those that I have met in that time have a breadth and depth of knowledge that is truly amazing and a testament to the diversity and intelligence of our community. I would like to start a project that allows us to efficiently share the wealth of experience that we have, so that we can all be better educated and more knowledgeable. I am thinking of something along the lines of having a video or chat with one of our many resident experts on a periodic basis. There has already been talk about (and one filming) of a reloading video with Pinnacle. I have learned a great deal from doing competitive shooting and think that it would be a good thing to spread the word about. How would you like a video tour of a number of shooting ranges in the state? Or fireside chats with the politicians that actively support us, or our lawyer friends? I think that there are a lot of interesting people in and attached to our community, I want to get them talking and see what they have to say. What do you think of the idea? Are there other things that you would like to see? |

You could do a FAQ and library spot on the forum! I like the idea of the reloading and holster making video. |

I like the idea of videos and informational stuff. <a href="http://www.twincitiescarry.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3717">Videos</a> like what ryanj found would be awesome. We could even do shorter ones that could be emailed entirely or we could email links to representatives. I think this is a great idea and it will work well if done right!!! Good idea someone1980! |

It's pretty trivial to set up a wiki (I ran one for a few months), but they're a bit more time consuming than forums, and 'self-regulating' is sort of a misnomer. Wikis need good editors to manage them, especially because they are written by so many people. However, a wiki would yield information in a more palatable format than pounding a forum with search queries. I could see a collection of hints, tips, experiences carrying, executed in the spirit of wikipedia's neutral viewpoint (no glocktalk kool-aid), being a decent start to a wiki. |

The web server just got up last week and I am working through the back log of video. There is a lot of it. |
