ContinuingWikiProject2013
To aggregate, annotate, and start remixing the articles we read in common, and move towards remixing and repurposing the ideas in them into wiki pages for our use and next year's use.Wikis are about the social: social construction of knowledge, social production, cooperative creation.
Get Started
Start with GettingStartedOnWikiProject2013 for Weds - Sunday.To Do: Sun 3 Mar, 2013
If you feel lost or confused by what we're doing, re-read the articles and readings on GettingStartedOnWikiProject2013. They will address more of the questions and concerns I've heard mentioned.In the same vein, start by looking back to the readings, especially when a topic or concept originates there. That will help you contribute to the discussion more confidently.
As of Sun 3 Mar, 2013, the pages below need fresh work. Start with the readings from last week, then google. Don't draw from Wikipedia; link to wikipedia, but build on more specific materials you can find.
- WikiWord - what is it, why it's important for wikis, writing.
- NeutralPOV - this has a good start. Develop it further.
- WikiWord as a name for a topic. Start with TheWikiWayChap10, but also dig around our wiki. There is a lot on this available.
- SecretMediaRevolution - what it is, why it's important here. Start with WikisWebCollaborationChap1
- TheLossOfTheCommons - try researching the tragedy of the commons to start with.
- TechnologicalDeterminism -
- WikiCulture - The page itself could become a TOC to pages on the topic.
- We could use a page on BrechetsEssayOnRadio, mentioned in WikiWebCollaborationChap1. Find it, read it, summarize it, link to it, consider why it's significant here.
- WikiPhilosophy - there's a call for ideas on the page.
- TheWikiWay
- WikisAreSocial
- Some topics from TheWikiwayChap10
- Pages on the WikiWritingHandbook TOC.
There are other pages linked to these that are also ripe for work. I'm not listing them all because discovery is part of TheWikiWay.
HowToContributeToThisWiki
You don't have to start or complete a page. New ideas are welcome, but they can be roughed in to be developed later by others. RefactoringPages is challenging, but refactoring starts with reorganizing the existing page under headings that bring out a latent organization, so start small and let others stand on your shoulders.You can contribute to a page in a number of ways - many of them involving reorganizing and detailing rather than cutting or adding content.
- Reseach the topic, adding annotated links to the sources for further consideration on the page.
- Start or further develop a guide to a topic (a TOC) - annotating, of course, and including links to both material on the wiki and elsewhere. Create a guide page to topics or themes of this wiki for a specific purpose. Eg: WikiForPoets, WikiForNewbies.... Organize and annotate. Include new WikiWords to specify topics that need to be created. Example: WikiWritingHandbook page is a guide to the pages on the wiki for writing on a wiki in general.
- Add requests for more information or examples or substantiation to pages that need it.
- Organize pages using headings and subheadings. This is especially valuable in DocumentMode, but try it with discussions, too.
- Re-organize ThreadMode discussions to make them more readable and easier to refactor.
- Proof and edit DocumentMode sections pages.
- More possible ideas on WikiWritingHandbook
- Start refactoring by summarizing some of the ThreadMode discussion into DocumentMode, then marking the refactored material as such.
- Skim around pages, adding a point here or there. A lot of pages have open lists asking for ideas.

Where to go for sources
Start with your own, informed consideration, drawing on what we've read. But then search google to see how others have considered these ideas. Try refactoring, what makes wiki work, topical writing, crowdsourcing, collaborative work, collaborative writing ... Material enters wikis from all sides.See a wiki in the midst of being written at c2 and meatball
