Grad student in information science, with philosophical interests.

I've been working with some common virtual community and collaboration technologies. wiki looks promising.

Welcome! -- SunirShah

Thanks! Hope I did not leap too quickly into LibrarianWiki?, before lurking. In one sense, the cultural faq's invite one to jump in, and yet, some of they wiki admin problems are caused by clumsy newcomers. I do like paradoxes, paradigms, and paracats! -- JohnCastledine

MeatballNews is a good place to get a sense of history. Found good wiki article link and link to ThinkTank?. Relevant to the SLIS Let's Talk info sci research forum.

Now have a four-wiki-node "network" of sister sites called AsistStudents? at Swiki, Seedwiki, IAwiki, and Noowiki - each with links to the others. --JohnCastledine

John, I don't know if you're interested, but WikiPedia could use some help from some librarian-type people. Take a look at WikiPedia:Library, WikiPedia:Public_library and WikiPedia:Library_and_Information_Science to see why. -- StephenGilbert

I am trying to turn them on to wiki and Wikipedia. I've also been exploring postnuke technology, but like wiki better. You can set up a free postnuke site hosted by Mobynuke at http://mobynuke.net Still hope to establish a good wiki host somewhere for more LIS collaboration.`-- JohnCastledine
