Tips & Tricks for the KPA (wiKPA) - For those who want to get to know their KPA far above what's in the manuals :)

Not sure it was ever suggested but what about a web Wiki where everyone could contribute?

I love the wiKPA, don't get me wrong, I mainly read it when I'm flying and forced to be offline or slouched on the couch. The amount of work Viabcroce has put in there is just jaw breaking.

A web Wiki could be the next step on top of the phenomenal work Viabcroce has put together as a solid foundation. Since everyone could revise every little piece of info, hopefully the sum of US could make a difference.

Again Viabcroce, thank you for being THE ONE who helped me make my decision to buy a Kemper. Your contribution is simply amazing.

Thanks dude, glad you appreciate it! And yes, I should plan something more effective

HappyKemper · Jun 19th 2013

I can imagine that all the new kemper features and info in recent firmwares is a lot of work to include in the different chapters of the wiKPA (or in whaterver form it might be in the future).
You are doing a fantastic job!

viabcroce · Jun 19th 2013

Mhhh... actually, the work on the wiKPA is suspended for the moment. I'm looking for better perspectives, there's no sense in investing so much time every day and basically... get nothing back (apart from the kind appreciation of some kind users, of course, to whom I'm extremely grateful).

I've devoted two hours per day to the wiKPA since it was first published... a countless amount of time.

Mhhh... Wonder whether it would be a good idea to add a PayPal account to this thread...

Sorry guys, I don't want to sound harsh. I'm just motivation-less at the moment.
I guess I need a vacation

Zappledan · Jun 19th 2013

I'd say a PayPal account and a vacation are both in order

Hi Gianfranco,

I was actually surprised to find out the wiKPA was no wiki at all. I can imagine keeping a document like this up to date is a huge effort. Thank you very much for your work!
Changing wiKPA to a real wiki would make it possible to share the work load. What's needed is a (free) wiki-server.

Does anybody know a suitable wiki server?

HappyKemper · Jun 19th 2013

If I'm not mistaken I'm sure I've seen at least two users on this forum that have offered server space for something like a wiki.
Didn't kemper also say earlier that they had plans on offering a wiki?
This way the work load is distributed to more people.

I'm already in touch with some members here to see if I can get at least some beers from this project (LOL).
By experience, I'd not count on mothership's help for third-part initiatives.

Gianfranco, you can have something strenger than beer, of course.

On the WIKI topic: CK seemed to be in favour of a WIKI last year at the Messe. Can you contact him directly about this? Sometimes a little pestering works....

viabcroce · Jun 20th 2013

Well, I've been in touch with Mothership practically since the very beginning.

Delicate matter Ingolf, I'll try and PM you

SteveStrummerUK · Jun 28th 2013

This is a wonderful resource Gianfranco!

Thank you so much for compiling it

viabcroce · Jun 29th 2013

Hey Steve, glad you like it

viabcroce · Jun 30th 2013

OK, some users in several posts have pushed me to make my PayPal account public so that those interested in supporting my work can contribute as they like.

Not sure whether this breaks any rules, for now I've added the needed information in the OP.

My deep gratitude goes to all the guys who have been supporting my work and this project since the very beginning with any means, including encouragement, congratulations and appreciations, advices, proofreading and whatever!

Gianfranco, check your PayPal.

Guys, please consider contributing to Gianfranco for his continued efforts. Did you know he has no KPA??? He should! What an incredible effort from a guy that doesn't even own the device he has so tediously documented.

ckemper · Jun 30th 2013

Allright, let us get specific!

We have been talking with some of you guys about a Wiki one year ago. Somehow it did not happen.
And unfortunately we never came to the idea to ask you - Vibracroce - to convert your document into a Wiki, even though it's a great idea.

If you think you have enough people to make and support a Wiki, then we will be happy to host and support it.
This is actually easier for us than supporting a linear document.

Who is in the project?

Hi CK, I already got specific and setup an online Wiki last night. It's hosted on my server and it has a proper domain name. I'm in the process of adding content right now, but everybody is welcome to contribute whenever they want.
wikpa.org
Would be great to get some support from the mothership, of course.

I've also created a forum thread for the wikpa.org project.

Cheers,
Martin

Ingolf · Jun 30th 2013

I'm in the project whoever will host the WIKI in the end.
It's good that things are moving in the right direction now due to Gianfranco's continuous efforts and Martin's initiative.

viabcroce · Jun 30th 2013

Guys, I'm already working on a site! I don't think it's advisable to publish two site with the same contents. Furthermore, I'm collecting many other facilities, utilities and infos about KPA-related products to create a real service to users.
I'd also like to write articles about the KPA and publish them... IOW, a real docu-site about the Profiler and not only a wiki.

It would really be a pity if we all - after so many months of silence - started doing toomany things!

The new site is about to be published
