Everyday Madness

(no comment)

Wenn schon sterben, dann ziehe ich die Straße vor,
irgendwo in der Steppe,mit dem schönsten Himmel über meinem Kopf
und der letzten Befriedigung zumindest gewagt zu haben,
was ich mir wünschte, statt in einem Zimmer von dem Bedauern
getötet zu werden, nicht genug Mut gehabt zu haben!

Alexandra David-Neel 1969

What Is A Wiki

As some of you may have found the button on the right, some of you did not know what a wiki is.

So here I post the definition from wiki.org:

The simplest online database that could possibly work.

Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.

Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.

Like many simple concepts, “open editing” has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.
