Test site for the Tir-y-Don SCA Garb Wiki

'This site is just a test to see if we like this approach to presenting the material'

The intent of this site is to collect pictures of a wide variety of SCA garb that can be handed to a new arrival in the Society to help with choosing clothing that they would like to wear and or make. To accomplish this, each picture will be tagged with a wide variety of labels such as "14th Century", "Flemish", "Male", and "peasant". These will allow the user to quickly find related images like other Flemish garb or other peasant garb.

I'm also experimenting with another website tool called Koken for this same purpose. You can see that test site at garb.baronllwyd.org.

Adding to this Wiki

During this early trial phase, account creation is locked down. If we decide we like this I will gradually, manually add accounts and gradually allow more and more as we gain confidence. Email me if you're interested in helping with the early expansion and want an account.

When you create a new page, please apply a generous dose of appropriate tags for the new picture using the Category function. Add as many lines like [[Category:Elizabethan]] as you wish to make finding the page easier.
