Subject: Re: Creating a Rapier knowledge base on line?
Hi All. Have a look at the Model t club site at http://www.modelt.org Then have a look at the tech corner on the blue bar at the bottom of the screen. In my opinion this is how a club site should work lots of info with a good tech support area including photos showing details of how a part was repaired. Large files such as operating manuals etc can be down loaded via PDF format (Anybody can down load PDF but can’t alter the text) Other data that is in various formats such as scans large photos tech drawing etc can be purchased via the club on DVD’s which helps with the running costs also helps keep the club site manageable. There are large amount of information about all aspects of the Lagonda’s of all models but on paper which is difficult, slow and expencive to manage. You can put this articles’-photos-scans on a website like Youtube BUT! If this site is taken off the Web everything is lost.
Should this type of site not be run by the Lagonda club and cover ALL models? I know the club is looking at a web site; here is a fully working model which could be adapted to the needs of the Lagonda club with minimal outlay as the database is already in existence.
I could go on put you get the idea!
