Findings

Yesterday I did a bloglines search for “wiki +COP” and this came up with a posting by Sebastien Paquet ( Seb’s mailbox )
http://sebsmailbox.blogspot.com/2004/06/communities-of-practice-for-educators.html
which led to http://www.emacswiki.org/cw/MailingListThenWiki
on the Community Wiki which is a kind of meta-wiki which focuses on the community aspect – just the kind of thing I’m investigating.

Mission Statement:
“This is a wiki about communities both online and offline: Management, creativity, teaching, learning, conflicts, mediation, security, freedom. We also have lots of tech talk about wikis and other tools used by online communities, but that’s just the current bias.”




The Community Wiki seems to have spun off from Meatball, which is a good sign I think. There’s also a CommunityWiki blog which hasn’t been updated since February, but had a useful article about WikiSpam – a subject which has been on my mind too, from time to time.
