Calligraphy Wiki

It would be awesome if we had a calligraphy wiki that we could all contribute our knowledge to and grow over time.

That's a wonderful idea! Any volunteers for starting it? 
I'll read up on how to do this but I'm not promising anything.

I've made a wiki before for my family genealogy, but it has been a while.  There is sort of a "language" that you use to create links, etc. 

Erica, does your hosting service have any sort of set up for wikis?  I used MediaWiki to establish mine, and it was definitely a bare bones deal - I had to learn a lot to use it.  I didn't know if whatever software the Forum is set up through, might have a template for a wiki, too?

I have no idea but I will definitely look into it.

I just did some reading on it... I'm not sure if it's something I would pursue since the forum was really intended to do something similar. But I will do some more reading on it and see.

There are a couple already:

Reddit Calligraphy Wiki

Wikipedia Calligraphy Wiki

If we were to do this ... how would you want to see it differ? What would it offer that isn't already being offered?

Oh, I'll look through those!!  No need to duplicate what's out there already!
