    Hi,
    We have the following website www.wikiprocedure.com where we have procedures for obtaining various documents and certificates. We would like to know the honest opinion of people about our website and what we could do to make it more usable.We would also like to have some volunteers from different countries who can contribute to our website to share their knowledge.

    Normally, we delete these random links people post to promote their own websites.. However, I will let this one pass because it is a pretty good concept you've got going there.

    Though, with a wiki I suspect you will be hit with tons of spam!

    Just sayin'

    We have several wikis at work. No spam at all. Access is restricted though, to a paying few.

    I agree with Kuya and Keith, your site is a good idea, the site management might be a bit of a pain to manage but it is a really good idea.

    As a crowd-sourcing project it is an excellent way to do this but it will be hard to manage and procedures are very much a moving target, a lot of updates will be needed but it would be really good to retain the historic view of procedures in order to retain a moving picture of changes.

    You can say that again. Like painting the Forth Road Bridge. And especially with the UKBA who shift the goalposts as many times as the ECO changes his underpants.

    Saw our ECO from Manila on BBC news last night, BTW.

    Has potential, but needs to be kept as absolute facts, with official backup rather than opinions.

    Appears to be rather lacking on the United Kingdom front, there is no information relevant to UK nationals, just links to assist non British nationals wanting to move into the country.

    So no use to me.

    But for the Filipino ladies coming to the UK?

    Could be very informative..

    Wikispaces is the one we use. Works well. I believe we pay a fee for it.
