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 [http://www.zefrank.com/wiki/index.php/Talk:Fabuloso_Friday/The_Script#no_need_to_focus_on_one_version.2C_with_wiki_there_could_be_many_versions reconsider focusing on the main page]. | 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.

Revision as of 03:20, 23 June 2006
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)

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).
