except this link isn't specifically about the calculator community. Either way, for now, I feel it might be better to have it on BrandonW's host instead of Wikipedia for now

I think I can offer a bit of knowledge of at least the things I had been involved with in the past. Let me know and I can get you the details. I think this is a good idea to have some place where our history is stored.

Great! Thanks! Well I still don't know who is going to do all the compiling of info, I personally don't have time for it (also I can't access a comp that often...)

Also if we're going to put this on the TI Wiki, not Wikipedia, the TI Wiki is only for z80 calculator stuff I think, not 68k.

my concern with Wikipedia is if the article would get deleted because it's not notable enough or something like that :S, which is why I think it might be better on an actual TI site

the community might get much more recognition on Wikipedia, tho

Yeah I'm worried about that too, but we could keep a copy on wiki TI and then if it gets deleted it will be safe and sound.

I agree with that, or we could just start a whole new wiki just for the history. I'm sure theirs lots of it.. Though I myself don't know how well starting a whole new wiki would turn out it sounds like a good idea to me.  ;)

I would just put it on BrandonW wiki for now. It alerady has some pages for the history of the TI community anyway:

http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=History_of_the_TI_Z80_community
http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=Category:Teams
http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=TI_websites

The only major issue used to cope with spambots and viruses being embeeded in the site, but since BrandonW took over the wiki hosting, he updates the Mediawiki software regulary now.

Spam bots are now deleted and stopped as they appear. And brandonw updates the wikimedia which helps a lot.

Sicode can be added as a programming team. And their archive site provides enough information. But better someone that saw their presence in first person add/correct something to the page. I will do that.

What other teams should be added? Remember the WikiTI is related to 68k calculators besides it has very few content about it.

Should defunct teams (site shutted down, forum has no admin/staff post in more than 2 years or it is confirmed on their site they are disbanded) be put in a separate page than current teams?

Also, I might be able to do some of the french community stuff, but for a long while, most people there did 68k stuff and I did not follow the 68k french community much. I know there were very few french TI teams, though. The only ones I remember (that might still exist today) are Orage Studio, the TI French Team, the Doom 83 team and Time To Team. Most people in the french community often worked solo
