The Tiny Guide to Wikis and Wikipedia"The Tiny Guide to Wikis and Wikipedia" is a project to collaboratively write a guidebook to the wiki phenomenon. Conceived by Benjamin Horst and James Benstead, we'd like to cover two broad avenues of inquiry: a technical introduction to the use of wiki software (including multiple wiki engines, from MediaWiki to TWiki, wikiCalc, and others), and a sociological study of the Wikipedia itself, focusing on how it works as a community, its similarities to the Free Software world, and its central role as one of the world's pre-eminent Free Culture projects. After a period of writing and developing these concepts as a living wiki, we intend to publish a printed book copy of this work. You can also fill in the "About" page at Project:About.
