These counts only include wiki that WikiIndex currently indexes.
There are many, many other public wiki that haven’t yet been mentioned on WikiIndex — please help us add them.

The process of organizing the wiki community - already parts of it that are organized, but for the most part, it is a bunch of interesting people doing interesting things.

“The Universal “Wiki” Edit Button leads to a page where you can collaborate, not just comment, commit or comply.” — Ward Cunningham, Inventor of Wiki

Personally, I am most excited by the Oddmuse implementation and am looking forward to extending that wiki out to more people’s attention.

It was very exciting to see wiki developers and wiki hosts extend their wikis into this idea and add themselves to the list.

All in all, this has been a fun few weeks, culminating in an exciting 30 hours or so. As with wiki, I look forward to what others will make of this.

“The amazing quality of many wikis, especially wikipedia, makes people afraid to contribute. But wikis want you to edit them. This button is meant as an invitation for surfers to contribute as much or as little as they want.” — Ehud Lamm

Last night our hosting company disabled WikiIndex because it was over the size limit. We are working to figure out a solution to this asap.

We suggested that they try to communicate with us prior to an action like that in the future.

 

Library 2.0 : Chad Boeninger - Wikis in Libraries

Chad Boeninger - Wikis in Libraries : Enhancing Services, Promoting Sources, and Building Community

Chad started off with a show of hands - what type of librarian’s were in the audience, including media specialists.

WikiIndex gets a mention in this pretty nice write up about what wikis are.

I have been working so much at AboutUs, that I haven’t noticed that the WikiIndex page at the wiki is now in five, count them 5! languages.

It is great to see so many folks doing work here

Anyone can make it six!

Check out these wiki that I work on, specifically the bot looking login spammer:

j’s scratchpad: SLA: Mary Ellen Bates’ Searching the New Web

I *loved* the reference to the new Web, instead of the dreaded Web 2.0 (I am still waiting for Web 1.0)

Added a .com instead of my preffered .org, but that is ok! It redirects now, so all is good.

Event recap

RecentChangesCamp Montreal, aptly named RoCoCo - a wiki style bar camp brought together some amazing minds from the wiki world. An unconference in style, a physical representation of wiki - these wiki camps let people decide the agenda and purpose of why they are there.

Participants at RoCoCo spanned from the West Coast of North America to Europe.

Developers get together

Nine wiki developers at RoCoCo formed a collaborative group to better communicate amongst wikis. A weekly IRC meeting is planned for the first Tuesday of each month at 21:00 GMT on irc.freenode.net, #wikiohana. Among the topics to be discussed are OpenID, wiki markup and an extended interwiki / sisterwiki map. A bot is in place to capture discussions and the chat room is open for use any time for those interested. Notes on the collaborative efforts can be found at [1].

Synergy At Work

• UniversalWikiEditButton - ConsensusPolling.org on creating a standard wiki edit-symbol type similar to RSS
• SpreadWiki.org / SpreadTheWikiWay.com - concept likened to SpreadFirefox.com
• Wikithon.org type house parties that teach wiki and the wiki way. - EugeneKim mentioned that Socialtext.com was doing similar type events.. parties to work on other wikis than your own.
• WikiWednesday.org - co-located by time - a likely candidate is the day after the WikiTechTuesday IRC meetings, the first Tuesday each month.
• WikiBirthday.org and WikiBirthdayParty.org
• WikiClock.org - The Wikiclock was created as part of the “Wiki and…” project, as a demonstration of the silly extent that we sometimes over-use Wiki technology.
• Wixee.com A wiki search engine.
• Synnamon.net - Collecting best practices for information architecture, folksonomy, tagging, machine tags, faceted.
• WikiRDF.org - Three Wiki-related RDF vocabularies were discussed at RoCoCoCamp; this is a potential home for such vocabularies.

Strong European contingent

Many folks from Europe were here and it was extremely productive to learn from their work!

Notes to come, but here is a video (it would be great if, through the lazy web, folks would translate the english to french and french to english, so the next revision would have subtitles.)

Looks to be a bunch of cool ideas to emerge from the event: RoCoCoCamp.info/FutureChanges
