Description
Powered by MediaWiki, Crewscut.com was a Danish wiki for cultural producers, dedicated to presenting cultural and media projects, networks and knowhow. As of April 2010, Crewscut.com is discontinued as a wiki for cultural projects, but the wiki's database and user base is continued under a new profile in NotatWiki.
The Crewscut.com domain will be used to host the media production back catalogue of Crews Cut Production, powered by WordPress.
Background
Crewscut.com was started in December 2004 by two media students in Odense, Denmark, Morten Blaabjerg and Søren Falgaard. The site was inspired by mainly three things:
- The need to organise and present creative projects online (mainly film/tv projects) - to create an online home for the widely divergent ideas and projects of the organisers, which didn't seem to fit with any traditional, hierarchical form
- The amazing concept of Wikipedia, and the discovery that MediaWiki could be used as an open source platform to build such a site
- A mixture of Lawrence Lessig's ideas of 'remixing culture' and the media philosophy of Jean Baudrillard, Paul Virilio and others.
The wiki began to grow, with the realisation that MediaWiki was powerful enough to contain information on not only the organisers' own projects, but could envelop information on the converging media landscape as a whole, and invite other users and projects to participate.
Perspectives
The ambitions for Crewscut.com fell into several categories:
- To expand its user base and article count significantly.
- To expand its content and structure into an international edition, to make the wiki accessible to a global user base.
- To expand and rebuild the architecture of the site to include Bittorrent technology to enable filesharing of large files (complete films), and to improve the user-interface presentation to make it easier to contribute to the site.
