To begin with, invites seem like a good idea. We can get a sizable pool of quality users to get the Wiki off its feet by this method.
A big point I want to make is that *a wiki can be really well run and be a “thriving” wiki…with 10-20 people. I have seen wikis with only 5 or so “regulars” become the definitive source of info on a given subject. Some wikis got ruined because they basically let “anyone” on, but I’d actually advocate turning people away from EvaWiki or making it REALLY selective to get in, in order to keep it *accurate* (sigh) sorry, it’s just that a “community” is what the forums are for; wikis are about “accuracy” and such….:)

But I suspect you're wondering why this site isn't on The Eva Monkey. As it turns out, the commentary was hosted on theevamonkey.com for a while, but had to relocate after it began consuming far too much bandwidth. At that time, there was no real plan for a wiki, and in any case, at the time, The Eva Monkey was very against the idea of one. Since we've decided on the commentary being hosted on Mediawiki, and tied to a full blown Evangelion wiki, and since the commentary has its own dedicated site, I don't think moving back, or amalgamating with theevamonkey.com is feasible.
I really hope you cross-promote/integrate with EvaMonkeyForum so that instead of two possibly competing sites, we get one super-site that wipes out all competition.
Reichu is firmly at the top, not lastly because she is paying for the site!
Excellent I was confused on this matter (and I still am on the level of collaboration between Reichu and EvaMonkey)one of the best thing is……the “wikiholics”, the wiki-addicts who are just totally withdrawn weirdos….well, a lot of other people have pointed this out not just me; these guys tend to be well, guys. Typical “Comic Book Guy” stereotype, you know? So at first I just assumed “Reichu, the person in charge of the EvaCommentary…” was probably some wacky Comic Book Guy no one would like…haha…(of course, I kind of had the Neo-meeting-Trinity reaction when I saw who Reichu actually was, in my post in this thread… http://www.evamonkey.com/board/viewtopic.php?p=75177#75177
So I’m actually thrilled that Reichu is the one “in charge” of the commentary and the Wiki (I like that about anime fandom, to which I am relatively knew; a heck of a lot more even gender balance; that is, I’m grateful it’s not a legion of 50 year old Comic Book Guys building model kits of TOS Enterprise….been down that road TOO many times…)
Minionisters are next in line when it come to their specific sectors of the site.
Okay, just for the record, who are all of the Minionisters and what are their respective domains?
Council members are next, but Minionisters are essentially council members when it comes to matters outside their sections. (Council members were originally supposed to have jobs of some decription, but it's looking like many will have only "advisory/board" roles for the time being.)
And who are all of them again?
Cool.
I’m off to work…
