How things get done on many federates sites fed.wiki.org

- wiki features alphabetical - the emergent experience - names of things - featured sites - Ten Years of Federated Wiki 🚀 - Steps in computing and in wiki 2021

- federated wiki design principles - Back at the beginning - The collaborative link TEDX Portland 2012 8min video - start playing wiki - David Bovill on fedwiki strangeness wiki - review fedwiki development Dreams and ToDos

These are some things we've written about that will seem strange to people use to ordinary web pages and even ordinary wiki sites.

Here we maintain a Roster of federation directories. Directories will have a well groomed sitemap optimized for finding sites by keyword search.

Many simple things that could be a button in a centralized system turn into a series of steps in federated wiki. We'll catalog them here as we notice them.

**Bleeding edge**

Invitation to the Page Portal - open the page in firefox in a corner of your screen whenever you are reading or writing federated wiki.

We built the federation based on the promiscuous sharing of simple things with the hope that this would lead the community to save indefinitely things worth saving. Within a year we had moved from ruby to node without leaving ruby sites behind. Now, in the federation's ninth year, we consider how this process might be further distributed.

Wiki offers local and global versions of search. Global becomes more difficult as our federation grows. We explore possible proliferation of indexes over large regions that would benefit from incremental specialization possible with Outpost Thinking.

A lineup of sophisticated stuff related to **Transformation visualiser** wiki

**09sep2021** matrix : I \[Ward] shared a diagram a week ago of my trails site drawn by following links and leaving out the trail pages that make up most of the site. That diagram showed the organization I had imposed over the the trail pictures without recognizing the automation that has emerged there over the last year.

We consider how an advanced handheld and networked device could connect people, place and method in purposeful collaboration. See Flutter Client

Through computer programs we construct large portions of our own future. Here we address how we might make faster and better decisions as we learn from and provide for each other. We draw from our own experience and those of Thompson Morrison and David Woods.

This attempt to collect and understand the history of wiki, as well as its current facade, tries to remember the small nuances we pass by in inventing this hypertext medium. How federating works in wiki. Style matters.

Welcome to this site where we discuss social, technical and design issues about the federated wiki research and collaborative writing platform.
