Front Page
Front PageThis ContentCreationWiki is focused on PeopleProjectsAndPatterns in SoftwareDevelopment.
The idea of a Wiki may seem odd at first, but dive in, explore its links and it will soon seem familiar. "Wiki" is a composition system; it's a discussion medium; it's a repository; it's a mail system; it's a tool for collaboration. We don't know quite what it is, but we do know it's a fun way to communicate asynchronously across the network.
To find a page on any specific topic, go to FindPage. To see an auto-generated list of pages which have changed recently, try RecentChanges. If you want a short list of randomly-selected pages, try RandomPages. CategoryCategory is the top level of page categorization; you can use it to delve deeper into the site.
Edit pages by using the EditText link at the bottom of the page you wish to edit. Don't worry too much about messing up, as the original text is backed up and can be easily restored (meaning, everyone can see the changes made, and will be able to correct mistakes, erase, and so on, if necessary).
The TextFormattingRules are quite simple, and the TipsForBeginners will help you learn to apply them gracefully. You'll probably want to start by editing pages that already exist. The WikiWikiSandbox is set aside for editing practice. Go there now to try it. (Please don't edit this page; changes here will likely be reversed within a few minutes).
Once you've made a couple of updates, you'll be ready to participate in discussions on the "Wiki", and before you know it you will be AddingNewPages.
Please read WikiWikiSystemNotice for the latest information regarding the operation of this site.
This site's WikiEngine, WikiBase, has since spawned other WikiEngines, which themselves have become a popular way to document things.
If you want information on the content you can expect to encounter, take a look at OnTopic and OffTopic. WikiInTheNews collects mentions of this site in the wider world.
