Do You Want A Garden Wiki Account?

     Are you trying to register as a new Garden Wiki user? If so, read the following carefully! The Garden-Wiki.Org website started in 2008 as a wiki anyone could edit and view. While a small minority of users have always been the backbone of the site as far as creating new wiki entries and maintaining older entries goes, by the 2009 - Fall 2011 time period the number of new edits to the site by anyone else dropped to almost zero. Meanwhile people visiting the site to view but not contribute has risen. This does not make for a healthy wiki, only stagnation. As such the wiki is currently undergoing some changes to reflect the userbase, or lack thereof where it matters. Since this is a hobby site and not motivated by many outside factors, we can pretty much call the shots and thus after trying several normal approaches to attract more editors with a passion for gardening we're testing another method to get some community involvement around here. See below...

     At the current time the only way to get a new user account is to request one directly from the admin via email. Accounts will only be granted to people who contribute to the wiki by writing a new wiki entry for it. If you grow some obscure vegetable or have some unique gardening knowledge or even lots of user experiences to share, then type up what you've got and email it to ken(at)garden-wiki(dot)org for approval and you may earn yourself an account. Please try to understand that this is a trial to see if new content can be created for the wiki and forge a more active userbase and reflects the lack of success with an open wiki model and other attempts to engage users more prior to this point. Please read the points of clarification below as well. Thank You.
