- C-NET podcast: what’s a wiki? (actually from a month ago)
- “Wikis are lousy forums” – hell, yeah
- best for slow moving documents
- Wikia, fan wikis, town wikis
- MediaWiki; Socialtext, hosted wikis (Wetpaint, Pbwiki)
- Wiki customs (eg don’t create your own article)
- Who owns wiki content: they mistakenly say that by editing Wikipedia, you transfer copyright to Wikipedia (and Creative Commons, no less). Actually authors explicitly retain their copyright even when contributing to Wikipedia.
- Penny for your thoughts: comments on the fundraiser by Ethan Zuckerman (a member of the WMF Advisory Board, and OMG he cofounded Tripod! back in the day…)
- Creative Commons discussions on “what is NC?” are hopefully finally transferred into wiki format.
- SplashUp, web-based image editor via Flash, usable without registering. Pretty feature-filled, and in my quick play around seems fairly user-friendly and not too buggy. There are quite a lot of these around now.
