I started Wiki World mailing list/project and I would like to announce
its existence here. The full announcement you may find at
[
http://millosh.wordpress.com/wiki-world/wiki-world-announcement/].
As this is a semi-generic email, I am sorry for semi-doubling emails
into your mail boxes :) I think that this is enough important to tell
it to the separate wiki projects, as well as to the communities which
are interested in wiki concept -- because not all of people follow all
mailing lists.
A couple of days ago I found one very interesting book on Wikibooks:
Wiki science ([
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wiki_Science]). One of the
main goals of the list/project is to develop scientific discussion
about wiki concept, philosophy, even about future predictions of
wikis. I think that this particular book is very related to the aims
of the list.
Also, Wiki World aim is to make communication between similar projects
better. There are similar projects to Wikibooks, like wikiHow is
([
http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page]) and it is possible to make
efforts more efficient if some place for discussion between similar
projects exist.
---If you read this email on another list, end reading here
If you want to support this effort, please add a link to the mailing
list ([
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiworld]) at
appropriate place on your project (if you have such one). Optionally,
you may add a link to the wiki ([
http://www.ibiblio.org/wikiworld/]).
And, of course, if you want to talk, please, join the list. If you
want to help in the initial project managing, please contact me
(millosh(a)gmail.com).
Wiki World is the project which goal is to make a place where people
would be able to talk about everything about wiki and wikis. The
central place of thw Wiki World is its mailing list
([
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/wikiworld]). Wiki is used
just for gathering ideas and relevant material, while in the most of
cases it is better to use other wikis (and blogs) for writing and Wiki
World wiki just for adding a link.
