Comments on: Maybe we should diversify the wiki http://3rdparty.org/commentary/platform-in-progress/meta/2006/66 custom-built by the american people Fri, 22 Aug 2008 03:34:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: kmakice http://3rdparty.org/commentary/platform-in-progress/meta/2006/66#comment-28 Fri, 08 Sep 2006 22:36:05 +0000 http://3rdparty.org/commentary/platform-in-progress/meta/2006/66#comment-28 Well ... I created a <a href="http://politic.wiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&returntomypage=y" target="_new" rel="nofollow">new wiki space</a> in Wiki.com anyway. On that page there are links to advantages and disadvantages. I'd like to try working there for a while, for a couple reasons. Mainly, I like the idea of parallel communities. My <a href="http://www.wikisym.org/ws2006/proceedings/p105.pdf" rel="nofollow">research on PoliticWiki</a> (PDF) pointed to the branding of the wiki with our logo as an obstacle to participation. I would rather get many people contributing there in as open and inclusive manner as possible, and then use our site to discuss our own contributions, decide on what we take out of that work, and worry about our organizational needs. And, it is also a needed excuse to play with the controls of a new wiki. Well … I created a new wiki space in Wiki.com anyway. On that page there are links to advantages and disadvantages.
