You may think this is some kind of commercial spam/advertising but its
not. I am just looking for idea/contributions, I've setup something for
information about Chinese Oolong tea, not dissimilar but nowhere as
professional as pu-erh.net. Its a Wiki but protected and though I plan
to add content myself I am just looking for people really clued up on
Oolong teas (from Wuyi, Anxi, Wudong, whole of Formosa etc) who can
spare some time to write a few articles/reviews of tea. There is
possibility to upload small images.

Since the Wiki is protected you have to write to me to get a username
for editing, maybe this is wrong, tell me if I am little too harsh! The
idea why it is better than adding to the Wikipedia (which is a general
encyclopedia) is you can add reviews of tea and make links to
commercial sites, provided everything is reasonable. The license is
also going to be Creative Commons Attribution - NonCommercial -
ShareAlike 2.5 where no-one would be able to use for commercal purpose
and they have to mention "major contributors" for each page (which
will be listed at the bottom) so its an option for owners of shops to
post information onto the site to the public on tea they sell and raise
a little awareness but keep their information from being re-used
commercially.

I really hope that some people are interested, if you are write to me
to get a username. The site is not commercial.

I have decided not to go ahead with this, there clearly isn't enough
support/need for it and it would be too difficult to maintain factual
correctnes. Thanks. Hence ignore this.

Hello Vlad,

No offense but what you are asking is a large investment of time and
knowledge of the members of this newsgroup for no real appreciable
reward, and while this is noble it is a bit much to ask right off the
bat. I, myself, am fairly new around here and would never expect such a
favor from the members ever, even if I was a long time member.

I have run a number of websites and while I can see where you are
coming from, the approach could use some work. Your best bet would be
to put in some time and effort on our own and get the site started and
established. Hang around this newsgroup and contribute when possible,
and if you are a lover of Oolong's you must have some insight to
share... then in no time you will find out which other members are into
oolong and possibly interested in sharing their knowledge with you and
your site.

Simply popping in, asking for a monumental favor, and then giving up
totally in hours doesn't instill much confidence.

Take care,
Dominic
