I was searching around wikipedia and I couldn't find any articles about the history of the TI community. So I got to thinking, what if the community got together and started writing one?
Well what do you guys think of the idea?

I am not sure if Wikipedia would accept it since it isn't that notable in the world. I mean, it's not like there are millions of people who care if people made games for calculators. That said, people could elaborate on history of every websites on http://wikiti.brandonw.net/index.php?title=History_of_the_TI_Z80_community as well as the history of the z80 TI community, as well as correcting mistakes that there might be.

As for Omnimaga, I am wondering if we should only include its history as an online programming team, which spans from December 9th 2005 to March 3rd 2008 and from August 25th 2008 to today, or if we should include its entire history since September 1st 2001, even if it took years before it makes it online?

IMHO for a Wikipedia page, it might be best to ask input from the entire TI community first before doing it, so you don't get in trouble with Wikipedia later. Also it would be very hard to list every team that existed considering there are some teams from which we have no more info of. Asking old TI community members might help, though.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking, getting the whole communities input. I guess we could start posting topics everywhere and such.

It would be cool if more people contributed to the WikiTI history and teams. Omni could give a conference about most of it. >_>

I can help with the WikiTI contributions about doubts on how to do things, formatting, spell check and clean up. Send me PM in one TI forum I am registered or over WikiTI discussion on my user page.

I added Omnimaga to the teams category some time ago because it is the only one I know actively, is active and not listed. Then simplethinker correct dates and members. Grin
But if someone has other teams, name it, I can search and add as much as I can. Maybe Sicode, Kevtiva and... but I don't know much because they aren't active any more.

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

I hope this gets some interest. Smiley
About going to the Wikipedia, it should have agreement of the community in general and a WikiTI article could give a nice start.

Some dates actually needs to be corrected some more, too, like how Omnimaga original board shutted down in 2007. It actually shutted down on Jan 1st 2008, altough only really officially shutted down on march 4th 2008 (since there was a temporary board)

It reopened on August 25th 2009. There were a few other things. For example, I don't recall anyone ever doing a calc rickroll here before, unless you mean the realsound music conversion, which isn't really a notable release since I just converted a song using a converter. I also don't recall any staff here ever doing HP and Casio games at all. Most of the RPG section in our archives are files from outside Omnimaga.

Er yeah August 25th 2008, my bad x.x


I guess posting on other forums might be a good idea

Even in #tcpa maybe

I mean, all around the community, there might be a lot of people who have been there for almost a decade or more, who have seen a lot happening, and know a lot more.
