It's time to build a Flash Resource from the ground up. Flash content is constantly growing and consistently changing, with the change from Actionscript 2.0 to 3.0, new games and animation trends, techniques, styles, and everything else that is in constant evolution in Flash. This dynamic system calls for a dynamic source, that everyone can edit and contribute to.
Flashwiki.net is born, out of the idea that a central Flash resource and spotlight can be built by the users who need them. Both developers and enthusiasts can find information that might be helpful to them, such as where to find games, what games there are, how to start Flash, where to get Flash, help with Actionscript on both a beginner and expert level, and so on. Here is an example article.
What is It?
Built off of the original idea of AS:Main, Flashwiki allows for anyone to help contribute articles that can be relinked to from Newgrounds or other sites. Problem with the current AS:Main is the inability to constantly update and maintain all the documents found there, which is just a massive library of documents. Denvish did an amazing job maintaining the AS:Main for it's size and amount of authors, and put hours into that system. But now we have a totally automated system for organization, categorizing, and building up just a huge knowledge database. It eliminates any sort of issues caused by posts not being able to be edited. Also it expands the scope to include other areas of Flash, including Flash drawing and animation techniques.
As you create documents, you can tag them so that they get put into categories, like "Learning Flash" articles.
Flashwiki is also a place where developers can showcase their work, other's work, and themselves. The wiki structure allows for the site to be built by anyone, and does not require administrative approval to post work. This is incredibly useful, so we can start getting resources up.
The site is being built now, so that we have content in place, and we can start getting ready for craziness that is about to ensue for Flash 8 > 9 AS 2 > 3 Conversion.
What Can I Do
If you already have a tutorial or some other project you have created from AS:Main, you can easily start building a page now and just copy over the content. Or, you can start just building some of your own help documents.
So lets get this thing rolling.
