  EDUCAUSE REVIEW | September/October 2004, Volume 39, Number 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
One common way to use wikis is to support meeting planning: a provisional agenda is drawn up, and the URL is distributed to the participants, who are then free to comment or to add their own items.
Think of an open wiki space as a home that leaves its front door unlocked but doesn’t get robbed because the neighbors are all out on their front steps gossiping, keeping a friendly eye on the street, and never missing a thing.
Wikis are already making their mark in higher education and are being applied to just about any task imaginable.

 Common Craft - Social Design for the Web: Wikis Described in Plain English
A wiki is special because it allows a group of people to build, edit and modify a website with no programming or HTML whatsoever.
Wiki is short for “wikiwikiWeb”, first developed by Ward Cunningham in 1995.
And, yes, wikis are vulnerable to attacks from spammers, flamers and disrupters.

 Mathemagenic: learning and KM insights - Monday, November 15, 2004
The paper title is "In search for a virtual settlement: An exploration of weblog community boundaries" and it is started from a conversation at BlogWalk 3.0 in Vienna.
I guess we'll publish the draft or at least some pieces - I'm too fascinated with the topic to keep it quiet (actually, some of it was blogged by Denham - nice example of backchanneling that travels back to blogs :).
And the best part of it is not about finishing the paper and even not about getting new insights on the topic, but about getting to know Stephanie, going together through stress and fun, ups and downs, personal and work...

 Wiki is not paper - Meta
This would certainly never be tolerated in a paper encyclopedia, which is why Encyclopedia Britannica has such limited information on the topic (and on most other topics).
The articles in a paper encyclopedia are all compiled and printed at roughly the same time, and old sets are generally replaced by whole new sets.
Not only will a list of recent celebrity deaths obviously need to be rewritten once those deaths aren't recent anymore, but any article that links to it because a certain celebrity has just died may leave the reader wondering what the link was for, since the celebrity will no longer appear on that page.

 Talk:Monkeyfilter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm another with personal experience of the site, but then I'm a longtime member of its older cousin MetaFilter, which certainly deserves a place of note.
The Monkey has been around a year and shows no signs of drying up and blowing away, which has happened to several MetaFilter-imitative sites; and many MetaFilter denizens have high respect for the quality of posting and discussion at the site (the highest flattery, of course: ganking the links).
WP is not paper, we can contain multitudes, and MonkeyFilter will probably be independently noteworthy soon enough.

 Wikipedia:Citing Wikipedia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wiki is an unusual form of media, and as such doesn't conform well to the usual book citation formats.
Wiki is not paper, so you will need to use an electronic format instead.
The citation should normally include the full date and time of the article revision you are using, because the page may well change radically between when you view it and when somebody else following your reference views it.

 Phantom authority
A Wiki community is open in the sense that it allows anyone to participate, freely viewing information contained in a site, permitting editing of that information as well [9].
It is worth noting again that, because of the Wiki paradigm, the community strongly supports innovation and seems free of some of the problems of scholarly publication [19].
This paper has dealt mainly with the issues of authority, reputation, recruitment and retention of members in purpose–built virtual communities, engaged in creating horizontal collections of information goods.

 Talk:Wiki is not paper - Meta
Wikis are a repository of information, not a serial of successive ideas.
Since wikipedia is not paper it can be and is a plurality, we can have numerous articles which describe different conceptions of what some readers may consider one subject.
Even though Wiki is not paper, I think we should refrain from depending on the www to provide navigation both between articles and within articles.

 Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This also means you don't have to redirect one topic to a not fully equivalent topic that is of more common usage.
If you are interested in using the wiki technology for a collaborative effort on something else, even if it is just a single page, there are many sites that provide wiki hosting (free or for money).
You can also install wiki software on your server.

 Why Wiki Works Not
This wiki is both an exemplar (good and bad) of a wiki, and also a wiki which is intended to be about People, and also vaguely about the History of Programming.
Wiki is somewhat protected from spam, ads, and trolls by the ability of its users to fix adulterated pages.
Wiki is wider, so more frustrating to read if doing long reading and hours of reading, or if you are not in full concentration, or if you are a bit tired.

 And why not a wiki?: Blogosphere lights up over 'wikitorials'
Or, a publisher could adopt an "open source journalism" model, opening a wiki to revision for a limited time, with an editor stitching together the best evidence and arguments from its versions for later print publication.
Coordinating with the paper's registration system would have allowed the paper at least to boot offending readers from the entire latimes.com website.
From Robert Niles on June 21, 2005 at 2:00 PM The article, and its options for running a wiki, was posted before the wikitorials launched.

 Meatball Wiki: WikiMarkupStandard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It unnatural if you have to speak 5 different wiki markup languages to discuss 5 topics on 5 different wiki engines, so it is less problematic to migrate to a common basic markup standard than to keep multiple markups.
By recognizing that all wikis produce html and many can save that (rather than just displaying it) it becomes practical to use a wiki software's editing and display functions separately, at different times, which reduces my concerns about the use of different markups.
For example usign sample bodies of wiki pages and various engines it will be trivial to create statistics about the spread of particular markup and also to see which important markup is split into majorities among the compared wikis.

 Quickiwiki, Swiki, Twiki, Zwiki and the Plone Wars Wiki as a PIM and Collaborative Content Tool   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Wiki pages are controlled — created, linked, edited, deleted, moved, renamed, and so on — by a programming or scripting language, and stored either as plain ASCII text files or in an external relational database, such as MySQL, Oracle, or PostgreSQL.
Wikis that implement page-version control may also allow page rollback, usually via the History view; sometimes you will see the word "diffs" used for version display, which means differences, a short form of the software utility of the same name.
Wiki was subsequently extended by some clone derivatives to include more explicit database management (server-side add-on), such as RCS (Revision Control System) [http://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/rcs.html], CVS (Concurrent Versions System) [http://www.cvshome.org/], or ported/integrated into larger CMS systems (Python Zope) [http://www.zope.org].

 Amazon.com: Books: The Wiki Way: Collaboration and Sharing on the Internet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Throughout the text, the authors are suitably upbeat about Wiki's prospects for wider adoption, but they are realistic enough to note compromises (such as requiring passwords and restricting edit rights) required in business settings.
The technology behind it is also simple, and the wiki code that makes this work is written in perl, so if you want to add a feature or tweak it, then you can 'hack it'.
When you set up a Wiki for use by your colleagues or students, you need to understand the group dynamics of a successful collaboration site, and this part of the book will help you to encourage people to take roles and get involved, thereby extending the community.

 Why Wiki Works
Wiki pages will be maintained by multiple independent bots which serve to keep the pages that the original author or group of authors intend to stay forever.
In a wiki, on the other hand, if you spot a mistake you can fix it instantly, and adding something new is as easy as typing it up.
Wiki is a world where anything is possible; the possible uses of the wiki were not dictated at its creation.

Wiki allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.
The term "wiki wiki" means quick in the Hawaiian language and is used to identify either a type of hypertext document or the software used to write it.
Many Wikis are immediately identifiable by their use of CamelCase, produced by capitalizing words in a phrase and removing the spaces between them.

One of the awesomest results of Lessig releasing his book Free Culture under a Creative Commons license is that somebody has placed the entire book in a Wiki, where anyone can edit it.
One part of free culture is the freedom to contribute and participate, and an open Wiki welcomes that in a way that no closed site can.
