How can I help with the Technical Manual?

We need a couple of types of people, and no, you don't necessarily need to be an expert on these cars. So, what roles do we have?

Expert... someone who actually knows a lot about a (part) of the Pagoda. We have a number of recognised experts here on the forum, and we all know them. They produce basic content and knowledge, often in forum messages or "Tours".  They add photographs., explain procedures and so on.

Knowledge gatherer...  these are people with a thirst for information. Over the years they have culled so much together, they have become experts themselves. If you need to knwo what was historically correct, they know. If you need a part number, they have it. The entire section on Data Cards and Codes was put together by someone like that.

Chronicler...  these are people who frequently have done a complete, body off, nuts and bolts restoration of their cars, and kept meticulous records and photographs. We have one or two of these on our site too. You need to know a detail (like how the heater box fits... they have a picture). We have some of these people too.

Writer... guess what, someone who writes plain, understandable English. Is able to remove unnecessary noise. Make it succinct, simple.  We need more of these people, because when the rubber hits the road, writing it up neds to be done.

Editor... someone who puts it all together. Gets information from the forum and other sources. Pushes the expert to deliver. Gets info from the knowledge gatherer, and photographs from the chronicler. And puts it all together in the right place on the Wiki, with the right layout. Adds internal links. Is organised. Gets the best out of others. Are you one of these people? Please start contributing!
