Talk:WikiNode

Just as I am fond of WikiEngines going into the Category:WikiEngine, I like the idea of our WikiNode pointing to the WikiNodes page. Just like the front page is WikiIndex. Both ideas are similar in a way that I can't articulate very well at the moment. (I am trying to create a visual.

here is the dump from SwitchWiki:WikiNode to be intergrated here perhaps:

WikiNodesWiki -- discussion of the WikiNode network - [FrontPage] ( http://wikinodes.wiki.taoriver.net/ ) - [RecentChanges]

The Wiki Nodes Wiki is about the concept of organizing people and wikis through a network of interests. Like SwitchWiki, every wiki is described by a single wiki page. Unlike SwitchWiki (which places 1 page per wiki on the SwitchWiki; naming that page after the wiki it describes), the Wiki Nodes Network places 1 page about that wiki (and a few neighbors) on that wiki itself (naming that page WikiNode).

Thus we will place a WikiNode here on this page! ;-) :

WorldWideWiki WikiNode

Welcome to the WorldWideWiki! This wiki hosts several projects including SwitchWiki.

Key Points of Interest at WorldWideWiki

- HomePage home-page - RecentChanges recent changes - WorldWideWikiNews - SwitchWiki - a list of all known public wiki, with brief descriptions

wiki-nodes of neighbors to WorldWideWiki

- [inter-wiki-wiki: wiki-node] - general inter-wiki development and coordination - [node-wiki-for-university-wikis: wiki-node] - noding university-wikis - [node-wiki-for-city-wikis: wiki-node] - noding city-wikis - [node-wiki-for-wiki-hives: wiki-node] - noding wiki-hives (and -farms) -[node-wiki-for-political-wikis] - noding political wikis

(This page is a dual-duty page. This page is the WikiNode for WorldWideWiki, and it is also the page of SwitchWiki that describes the wiki called the "Wiki Nodes Wiki". Sorry if this WikLossary:McGuffin is confusing. )

WikiNode template

not sure where this comment goes, but I thought that we were not universally adding the WikiNode template to wiki, only to the Vibrant category to start? (re: AddYourOwn) What did others think the decision was? Best, MarkDilley | talk

internal/external

I like Mark's format of having the internal link and then apostrophe s and then the external link to the WikiNode. Excellent! TedErnst | talk 00:15, 18 Feb 2006 (EST)

Collaborative Editing

this would be coool! for us here at WikiIndex - it is from the wikicities wiki-node

TourBusStop

Reformatted a little, this page looks content wise like a pretty good TourBusStop page. 158.135.241.100 02:50, 1 Mar 2006 (EST)

It would be good for us to have a TourBusStop as well. The tour bus is another way to traverse the wiki universe, wiki nodes is another one, and this site itself, wiki index, is a 3rd. TedErnst | talk 13:52, 1 Mar 2006 (EST)

I know (I drive a tour bus), but I was just thinking that the sort of stuff on this page seems to be the same sort of stuff that's on most TourBusStops. So perhaps we could save ourselves the trouble of writing it from scratch and use this page as a starting point. If we don't that's fine; it was just an observation/suggestion. —User:Sean Fennel@ 01:37, 6 Mar 2006 (EST)

don't think needs to be meta

This and TourBusStop don't make sense to me as meta pages.

Would be great if you could say who you are and why you feel that way. Thanks! TedErnst | talk 17:38, 10 Mar 2006 (EST)

First is that I think of them as basic wiki ideas, deserving of place in the "main" namespace. Second, all of our neighbors are simply WikiNode - not WikiWikiWeb:WikiNode and RecentChangesCamp:WikiNode. For those reasons I am moving the page back. I am still interested in why you think it should be a meta page. MarkDilley
