That might be too large an undertaking, but I'm willing to take a look and see what it would entail while I'm revamping the Custom Resource thread. Just getting that thread organized is a big job and I can only work on it sporadically. But I'll keep it in mind as I go.

If there were such a wiki, I would join and upload a pile of my custom objects for folk to use. I've never liked packaging up objects, but such a wiki might make it less painless ... The trick will be getting the architecture of the wiki sorted out so that we could just upload and go back to our day jobs instead of making the sharing act a day job in its own right.

Probably so. Just to let you know that the work you do here is appreciated. :thumb:

I suggest categories as well as the search engine. What might work best is to mimic the object hierarchy (Creature, Vegetation, Locks, ...) maybe down to two or three levels.
Also a standard format for uploading to the site is needed. Think about how you want objects to be given to you so that they will populate the site as easily as possible. Remember contributors shouldn't have to be editors. And editors are volunteers so make it easy for them too.

There is more categories ..until something is posted in them , they don't show. Buy yeah, it's just rough, anything can be changed.

That's very promising. Hopefully there will be much more to come.

It'll only work if multiple people administer it.

I cannot login. I'm already registered on Wordpress but that username/password doesn't work. Is there another means of registering?

I'm registered now. I suggest we focus on objects made by authors who are no longer active on here. Their objects are the most likely to vanish if their websites go down.
Targa's objects are on thiefmissions so they'll be up for ages, but some on the Low Poly Guild have already gone.
If you want to upload an object from your computer, and it's not already zipped up, you can use my (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142582) ObjectZipper program to zip up all the required files. It won't take a screenshot for you but it won't forget any textures either. The program can make object packs (i.e. multiple objects in one zip) but it's better for the OR to keep them in their own file.
