asking for support in 8bit-wiki.de

[Dieter Hucke]

Hello,
my name is Dieter Hucke, i am new in this forum and dont have a physical CPC for myself. I have found that forum and cpcwiki.eu and i am impressed of how active many people are in working with CPC.

We have a german internet website called 8-Bit-WIKI , it is dedicated to 8 Bit HomeComputers. We have Amstrad CPC already, and the Spectrum +2A / 3, they are labeled Sinclair, but licenced to Amstrad.

I want to ask you to have a look at 8bit-wiki.de, to give me your opinion, what we can do with the CPC there.
When you look at Commodore Section in that website, i simply made links to existing Wikis of Commodore, because it simply was not needed to set up a copy of wonderful existing Wikis, only to have them in "our" 8bit Wiki. We are making slow, but continually progress in new computers, about every three months a new model appear.

I would love to integrate CPC 64/128, but i dont have a german author to set up this computer in 8bit-wiki.de right now.

Now here is my question: What would you suggest to to with CPC in 8bit-wiki.de ?

I have several ideas, please feel free to give me your opinion:

1. I could imagine to set a link similar how its done with  Commodore, but your websites mostly are in english language, i would prefer a german website for linking.

2. Is there a german speaking author among you, who would like to set up a section for CPC in 8bit-wiki.de? If yes of course i would support.
For establish a section for CPC , we need cpc diagrams, an article about the history (german), photos of the different mainbords, and if possible,  some link to emulators, software if free of license, and ROM images.

3. I have not found a hint of your "structure", is there a person or community that could decide whether i am allowed to take material from your cpcwiki.eu and set up that area myself? I would need a clear mail with your permission to use diagrams, ROM Images, something like that.

4.  Maybe someone in your community could spare a CPC for lets say 6 months, (renting?leasing)  and send this CPC to me. I would need to open the case, examine the computer hardware and take ROM Image. I dont know the english word but i would send money for effort and some reserve if the cpc gets defect by my fault. I could buy some by ebay, but i would need support of that user.
After i have learned the  basics of CPC i will send it back to the user, and set up a cpc area in 8bit-wiki myself.

I would love to hear your opinions and suggestions,

kind regards,
dieter

Its dhucke again, sorry i had a writing mistake in my post before:

"We have a german internet website called 8-Bit-WIKI , it is dedicated to 8 Bit HomeComputers. We have Amstrad CPC already, and the Spectrum +2A / 3,"

Correct is:

"We have a german internet website called 8-Bit-WIKI , it is dedicated to 8 Bit HomeComputers. We have Amstrad JOYCE already, and the Spectrum +2A / 3,"

So viel steht da ja pro Computer nicht drin, also danke ich mal das ist bewußt kurz gehalten. Falls es allerdings mal etwas ausführlicher werden soll, dann kann ich gerne einen Text in Deutsch zu meinem CPC Betriebssystem FutureOS schicken.

Why? The CPC ROMs are already available as images. Otherwise there would be no CPC emulators.

Hello mate!


As far as the machines go, I don't think there's much left to discover, unless you got something specific in mind?


As far as content copying goes (I should really put a license in place some time...), feel free to copy whatever you want. Just add a link to the article's source and that's more than enough
