New vegan wiki started

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I just yesterday started a vegan wiki at http://www.wikiveg.org. As

you can see not much at all is there yet, but I have big hopes for it.

I'd like to see it eventually become a really great all-around vegan

and animal activist resource, though what exactly it becomes will be

largely up to the contributors. So there's no content yet, but I

wanted to get the word out a little now in case there is anyone who

would be interested in working on it, either casually or seriously.

 

Also, if you have a vegan/animal/eco group or zine or anything that

could use a place for free basic hosting of a website, you are more

than welcome to use this site. Just go ahead and navigate to

www.wikiveg.org/Your_group_here and create the page. Images can be

uploaded via the link of the left hand side, though keep it

reasonable. If you are worried that people will mess up your official

homepage, let me know and I can make the page your access only.

 

If you're not familiar with wikis, wikis are basically websites where

anyone, or almost anyone, can edit any page and create new ones. It's

hugely efficient for lots of things, because new information can be

posted and wrong info corrected very quickly, since there are tons of

people to do it, rather than a small number of webmasters. There is

always a risk of that freedom being abused, but usually this isn't as

big a problem as it seems. Wikipedia is of course the classic example

of a wiki that works (or that doesn't work depending on who you ask

 

If you want to get a better sense of the project, see the " What

Wikiveg is " page. (http://www.wikiveg.org/What_Wikiveg_is). And since

it's a wiki, if you have any ideas for what this project could be, go

ahead and add them to that page!

 

Thanks

Zach
