The site was pre-populated with information about many different websites and thousands of updates are now being made by people each day.
The vision of AboutUs hinges on the power of collaboration and the unique capacity of wiki technology to capture the coming together of communities. Proposal Demographicsare artists/cultural workers Session DescriptionThis session will be an introductory outline of wiki the software, but more importantly TheWikiWay. A wiki is a special type of website that allows all of its visitors to edit and expand its content and structure. Editing a wiki is far simpler than modifying a typical website. Doing so does not require the usual skills with HTML. Typically, it is just a matter of clicking the edit button on any page top or section header. Creating new pages is simple. Wikis are architected from the start for participation. You can write whatever you want, just so long as it's constructive and adds to the readers experience. The nature of a wiki is developed by whoever shows up to build it. In this sessision we will simulate what it is like to work with wiki and think about TheWikiWay. We will create an interactive story of words using paper and markers and the walls or ground. Exploring what it migth be like to work with a wiki to share ideas and plan for the future. Deep intereconnecting on the internet is valuable for knowledge and networking, learn how to do it easily and have fun. Wiki is the simplest online database that could possibly work.
