How big of a WIKI is this going to be? Whatcha gonna call it?

zenbabe · 08-17-2003, 12:09 PM

That looks neat! What if someone decides to go in and edit my recipes though? That could be a disaster!

zefrank · 08-17-2003, 12:25 PM

at any point you can roll back to a previous version...however the point is that the community hones in on and crystallizes the content.

zenbabe · 08-17-2003, 12:47 PM

You're making an online encyclopedia?

zefrank · 08-18-2003, 12:58 AM

nope...

WIKIpedia is just one way of using a wiki.

a wiki is any website in which anyone in the community can edit any existing page or add any page they want.
