The CPW needs YOU!

[Zach Wegner]

OK folks, it's time we start getting everyone involved in helping out over at the Chess Programming Wiki. There is too much knowledge being passed around every day here and other places, that needs to all go into one centralized place in an organized fashion. Why don't you join now? And if you are already a member, why not do some editing? There are many places that need expansion. Many evaluation topics don't have a page, but are still linked to. There also needs to be more pages on advanced search techniques, like IID, ETC, Futility, MTD(f), the list goes on....

I posted a topic over on the main page there (http://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/ ... me/4124501), discussing the wiki and future directions. I hope everyone interested will go read it and help out a bit. Everything helps!

I agree up to here.

...Why don't you join now?

And my question is: If there are already so many places where informations are spread in an unorganisized manner why create another one?

No personal offense meant.

I think that there is a need for "Chess Programming Wiki";
1. They can help many people instead of one, so it will be a much more comprehensive site.
2. Now here we have new techniques not explained elsewhere that already have some time.

Because there are so many places, and all of them are unorganized relative to each other. You have many places describing how to implement basic search functions, and some with more advanced topics, but they are all separate and must be found independently. Additionally there are many topics for which the only source of information is the "search" function on this forum and CCC's. Why not have a centralized, organized place where this can all be found?

And note that the wiki has been around for over 6 months now, there is already a lot of information there. Just not enough.

I agree with the idea as soon as it remains open to all the community.

I will register.
