We want to be maximally open and agile to new data. Hence the wiki format.
For me personally, I wanted to know how to make a MediaWiki site that puts schema-fied data first, rather than "loose" data like you find scattered on e.g. Wikipedia
Want to cover worldwide, not have North America bias
Want to integrate natively with EveryCRT
Feature list
CRT model data capture
Expressive format for inputs, outputs, multiple power voltages, etc.
See data format in CRT Model form/template
Search page
Wanted to use native Semantic MediaWiki search but ended up needing to write custom JS
Document upload (for manuals, brochures, etc.)
Data model applies them to multiple CRT models at once (if necessary)
Supports storing files on wiki as well as e.g. archive.org
CRT image storage
CRT accessories
I want to have a page for remote controls, stands, etc.
As well as community developed accessories like clone cards to enable RGB, 3D models/prints for replacement doors, etc.
