Parsimony Wiki

Back to WikiFarms

ParsimonyWiki is a server with 25.000 Wikis. Each Wiki comes along with a forum to have a place for discussion and one for more permanent texts.

At ParsimonyWiki you can get your own Wiki and forum. You don't need your own server, cgi-bin or knowledge in Perl.

Most of the actual Wikis are in German, but you can design your forum in every language you like. Soon there will be the same possibility for the Wikis as well.

Visit http://parsimony.net to get your own Wiki in German.

To our upcoming English version: http://parsimony.net/english/

On 9 May 2000, I wrote to the Parsimony forum:

The Wiki facility is great! ... But if it is going to be used for serious projects, we need a way to make sure that all the contributed information will not be suddenly lost.

On 11 May 2000, "Alex" from Parsimony replied:

Currently our Wiki is for testing, not for work ... We are working on better backups...

Sure enough, a few weeks later we lost about half of the content of our site, and have since moved away from Parsimony.

So I suggest that the Parsimony WikiFarm is not yet ready for use on important projects.

Very cool, Eva. Can you give an English explanation of how to start a wiki on Parsimony? Some of us lack German. Thanks!

Now we have a little bit in English on our website. We are working hard to improve it from day to day. -- EvaMarbach

Just tried getting a free Parsimony Wiki, but I was refused; even though I submitted information in all the fields, I was told I had not completed the form. What am I doing wrong?? -- FH

This site isn't free anymore, that's why I deleted the word free in EvaMarbach announcement.
