In the past 2 weeks I’ve set up two new wikis. Trashwiki is a wiki about dumpster diving and anything else that’s related to trash. There’s already a tiny community, and I guess we’ll soon have 100 articles. We did copy some stuff from Wikipedia to get started, but do feel free to remove the dry encyclopedic stuff.
After that I decided I needed some money. Or cash. So Cashwiki is a wiki about money. So far it’s just me, and I copied a lot of GFDL and public domain stuff from other places.
All this got me to playing with OpenID on MediaWiki, which I also set up on my favorite hitchhiking website.
Last week I found a list of books available under Creative Commons licenses on the Creative Commons wiki. You can find some great titles, such as Wall Street, Capitalism 3.0 and Asterisk: The Future of Telephony. Some of my favorites were already on the list (Free Culture and Down and Out of the Magic Kingdom and We the Media) but I had to add Everyone in Silico and Producing Open Source Software.
I was also pleased to find out that the Semantic MediaWiki plugin is successfully used on the wiki. And that they use OpenID. Of course I couldn’t refrain myself from doing some structural improvements on the CC wiki. And yesterday I was promptly made sysop.
