As defined by the Wikipedia, a 'wiki' is "a website (or other hypertext = document collection) that allows a user to add content, * but also allows = that content to be edited by anyone. The term Wiki can also refer to the collaborative software used to create = such a site * Wiki (with a capital 'W') and WikiWikiWeb are sometimes = used to refer specifically to the Portland Pattern Repository, the = first-ever wiki. Proponents of this usage suggest using a lower-case 'w' = for wikis in general. Wiki wiki comes from the Hawaiian term for 'quick' = or 'super-fast'" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki ]. _WiKiBibliography_ is located at: [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/WikiBib.htm ] As of this evening, it contains 30 major entries, most linked to their = respective full text documents. At this time, I would most appreciate = learning of Any and All Other ***significant*** publications for potential = inclusion in this compilation. While I am particularly interested in = applications and uses of Wikis in corporations, colleges and universities, = and libraries, substantial works about Wikis in general as well as = applications in other organizations, are also of interest. BTW: I have identified secondary works from database searches that I will = review in the coming weeks and add to _WikiBibliography_, if of value. BTW2: WikiBibliography will complement a planned registry titled _SandBox(s= m)_ that will be established at =20 [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/SandBox.htm ]. [In the near future, I plan to post a call for significant corporate, = educational, and/or library Wikis for potential inclusion in _SandBox(sm)_= . However, those Innovators and Early Adopters Amongst Us [:-)] who = would like to nominate resources for _SandBox(sm)_ at this time are = welcome to do so in response to this posting].=20 TIA!!! (Again) Happy New Year! Regards, /Gerry=20 Gerry McKiernan WikiLibrarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 gerrymck@iastate.edu=20 =20 P.S.
