MeatballWiki | RecentChanges | Random Page | Indices | CategoriesPerhaps you want to discuss online communities, but do so in an environment with different values, people, ideas, software, etc. So, a few options: (Which of these do not demand UseRealNames?)
- Wiki:WikiOnWiki
- MetaWikiPedia (particularly discussion relating to wikipedia and other wikimedia-supported projects)
- CommunityWiki
- CraoWiki (in LangueFrançaise)
- GründerWiki (Deutsch)
See also the WikiNode.
If you're mainly interested in reading about online communities, rather than discussing them, here are a few interesting places to read:
If you want to discuss something other than online communities that is covered on MeatballWiki:
- IaWiki for InformationArchitecture
- [ESW Wiki] for W3C discussions of the SemanticWeb.
- [InfoAnarchy Wiki] for those interested in remaking IntellectualProperty law. (Update: Wiki is dead since around August 2020. Here's the last good archived version of its Main Page: http://web.archive.org/web/20170914022124/http://infoanarchy.org/Main_Page)
- http://wikifeatures.wiki.taoriver.net, an index and discussion of wiki features. (Update: Dead between 2008 and 2014. Last good archived version: http://web.archive.org/web/20080915101830/http://wikifeatures.wiki.taoriver.net/)
- [GetMeta] for discussions of Philosophy, technology and other "metatopics".
If you want to discuss something other than online communities, there are a few places you can look for something suitable:
- CategoryOnlineCommunity
- OneBigWiki
- [Google]
- [National Coalition for Dialogue and Deliberation] (NCDD) and [NCDD Wiki] for participatory online and f2f resources and methodologies useful in building community, collaborative problem-solving and creating sense together
If you want to start your own wiki or wiki-weblog, here are some quick pointers:
- UseMod:UseModWiki under the point "How to set up your own wiki"
- If you don't have the expertise or the server to host your own wiki, try one of the Wiki:WikiFarms
