wow i wish fluxus had wiki. I do twiki with my friends which is a more jazzy version. you can upload pix etc and you can make pages other people cant edit. we have a main home page and everyone has their own page so you can create public forums or private to do lists. We've had great discussions about creating urban village utopias etc.
FLuxlist would be great on it- I imagine there would be collaborative poems, stories and collages. Plus a book/film/etc review page where people post their openinions. A questions page, anouncements, a claneder page. One great feature is that you link esily to other pages by just typing like this LikeThis- which would link oyu to the page called LikeThis so let's say there was a Maciunas question- the answer oculd refer the user with one sentence to many other web pages. Ex: GeorgeMaciunas was one of the FLuxusFounders who did PerformanceArt and is one of my FavoriteArtists. Then you could click on the double words and learn more about George or link to other artists pages where people could discuss their work. It's easy to use though. each page you make has buttons on the buttom- edit and upload. wow it would rock so hard. Whose up on twiki stuff. I have no clue how to make one or get server space. did that make sense at all? wiki wiki means quick in Hawaiian.

In a language of a country whose name my silly little White European Male brain has refused to remember, "wiki" means fast, and "wiki wiki" means very fast, i.e., uploading and updating of information doesn't require uploading files, and can be done online. Becasue of these qualities, wikis have become a commonly used anarchic publishing systems, perfect for discussion forums, etc. (the indymedia interface is somewhat similar, allowing people to upload news and comments on the run). There's something eminently social about them, since they require a certain commitment and agreement in order to be effective - much like anyone can alter and edit information, they can also delete it. Try to imagine something like a static, web-based version of a mailing list like this one. In order to set up a wiki, unless you're a programmer, the software needs to be installed on a server. Twiki (which youarehere, a project run by Simon Worthington of mute/metamute, uses) is one which is online, and can be used freely. Go to http://youarehere.metamute.com/twiki/bin/view/Home/WebHome scroll down for the instructions on how to register, open a page, upload information and edit it. this kind of exhausts my knowledge on the subject. Anyway, there are some more wikis here: http://www.desk.org:8080/Desk/ArtServerWikis and try a google search for more, I'm sure some include better descriptions of the concept than this one.... best, Kamen --- http://6digit.tripod.com On Tue, 23 Apr 2002 15:20:38 BSolotaire wrote: >Whatever you just wrote about sounds very interesting.
