==Executive Summary==  
<meta name="google-site-verification" content="oRgTsJtdmAXjod2zZPyXllzxvGKNcQ_MHf2DobmCZwo" />
A Wiki provides another mechanism through which we can share knowledge. It is different from conventional web pages because readers can update the pages they are viewing. This holds the potential to be a powerful addition to the Bose Musicians Community Message Boards (the Forum), not replacing it, but providing another mechanism for supporting the community of owners who use the internet.

===Discussion===
People come to the Bose Musicians Forum for many reasons:


*Looking for information
__NOTOC__
*Share information
<!--        BANNER ACROSS TOP OF PAGE        -->
*Community
*Affiliation
*Anonymity


Let's talk about the first group of people. They may be content to browse through the forums or use a search engine. Others may want something written and presented in a more conventional (for the web) format. A Wiki can be a mechanism for sharing knowledge in a much more concise way than a discussion thread in a forum.

===Quality of Information===

Because the content of a Wiki is contributed by its readers, there is no greater assurance that the what is written there is in any way better than in a forum. It is probably no worse.

===Moderation===
<div class="tocdiv">
There is no formal moderation queue. It is possible to have people create their pages in the Sandbox area. Then an administrator can migrate pages to the live collection of documents. This would be extremely cumbersome and runs afoul of the spirit of social software.

===Implications===
{{L1 Pro icon}}[[L1 Pro]]


If there is no moderation queue (giving the opportunity to review content before it is published) it is not possible to prevent undesirable content from being posted. It is likely that it would be seen and changed quickly by the readers. But that does not guarantee that it won't happen in the first place.


===Bose® Musicians Community Message Boards===
{{Sub icon}}[[Sub1/Sub2]]
We should consider how a Wiki will impact The Forum.
We are doing something similar already
We already have two "Unofficial Guides" that are open to input from our community. It is rare for someone to  contribute directly. I think the community has developed the expectation that if anything 'good' turns up in the forum, that I will find a place for it in the Unofficial Guides. Sometimes a community member will post a message requesting that I add something to the Unofficial Guides.


Having a Wiki may encourage people to contribute more directly, but it may not. But having the Wiki should make it much easier to find knowledge because it has several ways through which information is linked and cross referenced.


===Staying connected to the forum?===

== Getting Started  ==


===How is a Wiki different (from a Forum)===
*Click the links in the menu at the top left.
Cliff encouraged me to share this: [[How is a Wiki Different]]
*Try the search box (just type in a keyword that comes up in the forum and click Search). Terms to try (individual words) Gain Mixer Mono Phase Chris Cliff Hilmar (hint: you can double click a keyword and drag it into the search box. Then click Search).


===Other Resources===
<inputbox>
On occasion it will be appropriate to refer readers to Resources-Other for information that does not comform to the Content Policy
type=search
parameter1=value
parameter2=value
</inputbox>


===Official Terms===
*Try the [[Special:Random|Random page link]] (just keep clicking it for a fast trip around the wiki). After you try it once, you can use the link in the top left menu keep going.
See Official Terms


Current Wiki Project
On most pages, you will see category links across the bottom. You can try those too.


I am updating, editing and migrating the Unofficial Users Guide to a wiki format.
