Default The Wiki/Wikipedia Thread

As you may know, the term, "Wiki" is Hawaiin, and simply means "fast." It is not synomous with Wikipedia, which is simply the most successful wiki project available to the public A wiki is "a collection of web pages designed to enable multiple access and content creation/editing. Essentially, a wiki is a collaborative website. If everyone on BAUT were given moderator rights, it would be a wiki, as mods can edit anyone's posts, not just their own. They're often used in business and knowledge management systems.

This thread is for all things Wiki/Wikipedia. Gripes, complaints? Opinions on how Wikipedia is morphing? Opprtunities you see that they might be missing? Humorous observations?

Do you have any idea as to how wikis might be improved over the current relatively flat contribution space?

Do you have good links to Wiki projects other than Wikipedia?

This is the place.

If we halt the ISS, all versions of Ares, and transport Orion and Altair aboard DIRECTv3's Jupiter family of Shuttle-Derived Launch Vehicles, we just might make it back to the Moon by 2020.
