This is an excellent topic, one that I have thought about for many years. I started “collecting” a list of open edit wikis back in 2002-3 – when there were very few that were not software/hardware wikis. It grew to ~1100 and with the help of a few friends I met at the first wiki conference in North America – we launched http://www.WikiIndex.org to help people understand the wiki landscape and realized later that it was helping to create a self awareness of people liking this way of collaborating. We hope that people find wiki there that they can join because many wiki don’t get the synergy they need to last.

This is also one of the reasons I started to work at http://www.AboutUs.org – to help people discover wiki and others with their same interests and collaborate together on AboutUs, maybe stay or maybe then create a wiki together.

I am very excited for the future of wiki collaboration!

Best, Mark

I think that wiki’s are very helpful. we use it in our school and its very helpful when the teacher puts daily plans and instructions so if you are gone you can always go to the wiki so your not behind in the class.

Of course we/you have to re-create wheels, again and again.

That’s kind of how we learn the genre, by having a go at writing a novel ourselves… the fact that it’s been done before is just the way life is.

Most wikis, like WikiWords are place-holders for intention (they don’t HAVE to be original or up-to-date).

I don’t think the best part of a Wiki is the fact anyone can edit one. I think that may be the worst part. Some people try to be cute and edit it with irrelevant stuff.

Hmmmm…. I actually try to avoid creating wikis, unless I’m using them to manage a collaboration project with a team or using them within a workshop (as a brainstorming tool)

Regular search engines don’t generally seem to index wikis too well or keep them current. I like Quika.com for searching wikis.

You ask, “…why do so many people create the same wiki’s instead of finding one that’s close to what you want and adding on to it?”

I answer, “your post about blog awards. One person, one blog. It’s all about ego, man.”

In the meantime, check out my wiki at…

There are tons of free wiki software engines that you can add to your site depending on how your site is hosted. John Pederson (iJohn) has been raving about Media Wiki lately after installing that on his sever.

Too bad about Wikispaces though

I had a class Wiki going with our global partner school in Hawksdale, Australia. We used Wikispaces. My district has now since added Wikispaces to their block list. We were using it as a tool where our students could share what they were creating and collaborate my effectively.

If anyone knows of Wiki software that is kid friend that I can purchase and add to my website, then I am open to suggestions.
