== Here is a global view of MeatballWiki (14oct2002) ==

There is an (arbitrary) filter; I can not show all the nodes and links.  So, here are the pages which are referenced between 20 and 100 (xcl.) times.

I did it on 14oct2002 with graphviz [http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/] after extracting the inter-links with a small perl script to produce a .dot file [http://users.skynet.be/chricat/topologie/MeatballWiki-14oct2002-15-100.txt].  The second part of the file is the reference count (to and from nodes).

The pdf version is zoomable and searchable[http://users.skynet.be/chricat/topologie/MeatballWiki-14oct2002-15-100.pdf] (by ps2pdf ghostscript).

What is interesting is the reference count: how many pages are referenced 'N' times, and how many pages include 'N' references to other pages in the wiki.  There is no 'on average'; it is a PowerLaw distribution.  A few pages reference a lot of pages (or are referenced by a lot of pages).  And a lot of pages are just referenced a couple of time (or reference a few pages)

See the same for SeattleWireless [http://SeattleWireless.net/index.cgi/HowDoesThisWikiLookLike] (29aug2002)

There are other examples on [http://ReseauCitoyen.be/?TopologieDuWiki ReseauCitoyen](in French) 

I got the idea after reading "[http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0738206679 Linked, the New Science of Networks]" by [http://www.nd.edu/~alb/ Albert-László Barabási] and "[http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393041530 Nexus: Small Worlds and the Groundbreaking Science of Networks]" by Mark Buchanan.
