Welcome

Welcome to WikiIndex, we are a wiki of wiki, wiki people and wiki ideas. We strive to help new wiki folk find wiki communities they are interested in. We strive to help experienced wiki folk think about larger issues in wikidom (How many wiki are being started and dropped? Do you know of a wiki that has a GreatFeature? How can the whole wiki community deal with spam? Etc.).

Even though we are a wiki, we use StructuredData. Even though we use MediaWiki we have some differences from Wikipedia, (see AboutUs)

Wiki Spotlight
Hoped this was going to make a splash, humor works all the time. June 20, 2006 "If you haven't seen Ze Frank's hilarious videoblog, it's worth checking out. A few weeks ago he challenged visitors to create an "Earth Sandwich" where two pieces of bread are placed exactly opposite each other on the globe. Google mashups showing what's on the opposite side of the Earth and a live GeoRSS-based bread gallery were provided. A piece on NPR this Saturday details the concept and a team from New Zealand and Spain completed the challenge. Then on Friday he allowed his show to be written by his viewers who battled out 2,000+ script revisions in a Wiki. Sunday's New York Times describes the results." via Slashdot Ze Frank is getting more popular, and one of the tricks in his bag is a wiki that he is encouraging folks to help write the daily 3 minute video weblog show. Very fun. After the first script was written by many, many folks fighting to have what they thought funny be on the front of the script, it was like writing by committee. I suggested they think about the wiki in a different way, and reconsider focusing on the main page.	zefrank vblog June 9th, 2006 Over at the wonderful video weblog zefrank, he has opened up the script writing up to contributors of his wiki Zefrank. The wiki is used to write the script for the show: Fabulouso Friday. Was it successful? Congratulations on 1,500+ script edits and over 15,000 views of the Fabuloso Friday script!	WikiIndex Main Page Revamp May 15th, 2006 We've just revamped the main page with the idea of making it easier for readers to get right to what they want. You are invited to help us flush out the main and sub categories; the ones we put up were just a quick start. Peer to Patent May 14, 2006 Its tough for the USPTO to get up to speed in all areas for which patent applications are sent to them. That probably has something to do with why they are so backed up and often have to rubber stamp applications without a more in depth review. To address this problem, the USPTO has launched a pilot program called “Peer to Patent” which employs the JotSpot wiki engine. The idea is to open up the review process and invite the community to help dig up prior art and provide other assistance to the examiners. WikiSym WikiSym is coming up in August in Denmark. There is already an impressive list of speakers, including Angela Beesley, Doug Englebart, Mark Bernstein and WardCunningham, plus part of the conference will be in OpenSpace.

For a little extra fun, as we can, we have hired a caricaturist to draw people based on the pictures posted here. These Digital caricatures are by the very talented Rhoda Grossman (Digital Painting).
