From Kayak Wiki
January 1st, 2006.
I installed this Wiki site to allow Playak readers to share their knowledge more directly. I have no idea if this whole concept will actually work in the paddling community, but if it does, I think it can become an extremely useful tool for all.
Let's just see if and how this develops.
Feel free to add your own contributions. Main thing: it should be about sharing knowledge, i.e. Destinations, technique articles etc etc.
The main difference with Playak will probably be that this Wiki is a general purpose knowledge base. Playak focuses more on news, forums and on special applications, such as the calendar and the boats database. Maybe we will at some point put all river descriptions in this wiki.
Enjoy, and please behave :-)
