Can we have more than one player? And do they have to be stars/starters? This is right up my alley :)

Oh for sure, take all the players you like.
The hard ones are going to be the guys that you plug into Google, and come up with basically nothing for -- therefore, those are going to be the most important.
Yes, BPwiki. Running the same software that was developed for and powers Wikipedia. This is something I've wanted to do for about 18 months, and just haven't had the time or energy, and my other concern was further taxing this server. With the ads, and the Spring Drive around the corner, I feel confident I can at least start preparing to someday expand to a second server, and am therefore comfortable getting this project rolling.
Now, you can pull up a long list of former Buckeye players and basic information on Wikipedia. That's nothing though. We can and should absolutely link to those profile pages when they exist, but we're going to run much longer and deeper on this than we ever could (or would ever be allowed to) on Wikipedia. As I suggested before, a crucial component to doing this in-house is the future ability to tie in the stats engine, but having editorial/administrative control is a big deal for us as well.
More is coming than the Wiki though. The Blogs/Articles section of BP never really took on a meaningful shape and purpose. We're going to be beta testing a new piece of software from Jelsoft (the vBulletin developers) that will allow a robust system of user blogs. True blogs. My intent is to possibly support a subdomain naming system for these that will allow these new little BP satellites to pop out and away from the core site and stand on their own. Still a part of the planet, but more the way our moon is instead of part of the Earth itself. If that makes any sense. clarity.buckeyeplanet.net, for example. We'll see. With that may come buckeyeplanet.net webmail for those who wish to partake. I don't think many people need another POP mail address out there with so many great options like Gmail -- but they can be forwarding aliases to core accounts that help route BP/OSU related traffic, particularly for those who want to be active in projects like the Wiki and blogs.
Websites have really been about taking information. Even forums where interaction is the main goal. Sites like Wikipedia are really about sharing information and effort, and that's always been the core value behind BP. The wiki in particular is just another step towards that. How successful it is will completely depend on how active we/you are.
How many of us used to keep little spreadsheets of players, current or former. Or folders full of links and pictures about games and/or people of interest. I ask this rhetorically, because the point is that it's time to share all of that.
So keep grabbing players! Save your videos, pictures, text files, links, torrents, whatever you've got. We're here, we might as well really build something that has so much value that it outlasts us.
