K3 tech/ops manual idea - Wikipedia?

k1htv
I've seen a number of posts requesting a technical manual or one which could
explain more about the various operational aspects of the Elecraft K3. There
is a growing number of K3 users, many of whom are becoming 'experts' in
various operational and technical performance of the K3. How about starting
a Wikipedia page on the K3. Those who feel that they could contribute the
knowledge that they have learned about this great radio could add this info.
This info could be modified, corrected or added to by others who desire to
do so. The documentation could become what many K3 users have been
requesting.

It would take a webmeister of sorts to get it going and keep it on track,
with possible oversight for technical errors by those of the Elecraft staff.
I believe that a Wikipedia page would allow the knowledge base to be
available to the thousands of K3 users. So instead of the Elecraft staff
having to create the documentation being requested, it could be created by
the expert K3 users with minimal overseeing by Elecraft. The Electraft
resources could instead focus more on designing and firmware upgrades.

I have no expertise in Wikipedia, only being an occasional user, but I can
see the potential of it being the vehicle for disseminating valuable
technical and operational info for the multitude of K3 users.

Anybody interested in coming forward to start a K3 Wikipedia page?

Steve,
  Thanks for the info on the K3 wiki info. I had searched the Wikipedia.org
web site and didn't find one for the Elecraft K3. Guess I should have
Googled it instead. Will have to check out the 'zerobeat.net' K3 wiki URL
that you posted in your note.

73,
