Main: What's This Wiki Thing About?

Wiki - Collaboration workspace

Wiki software, used to construct this website and others, is designed from the ground up not only to allow for collaborative input from users of the site, but to encourage it. “Wiki Wiki” is a Polynesian term for “quick”, and Wiki sites are super-quick to use and update. The most renowned is the Wikipedia, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, which is an enormous encyclopedia developed entirely by its expert users. It is a shining and triumphant example of the web’s capacity for constructive anarchy.

And this Wiki can be your collaborative workspace. Explore the links on the SideBar. If you need help making changes, check the Documentation Index - there are very clear instructions there.
