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
