In April 2002 Sol Nte started a wiki at http://fluxlist.swiki.net/ As I recall, mIEKAL aND, Kamen 6digits (hello, are you still here?) and Sherry Wong were especially into it.

Last week brian asked me about adding sound to the badger and wolverine story and the delayed dawn burned through the fog that what we were doing with Nomad Slasher, or perhaps had already done, was a wiki thing. So I went to see about adding the story to fluxlist.swiki.net , but alas, Swiki.net has gone where even archive.org has no record of it. So and so I rather unilaterally, given the apparently benign nature of the thing, started my own, using PatrickMichaud's GPU open source software, PmWiki, on a spare corner of a web server.

The wiki philosophy is here for any who care to read it:

A wiki accords with an aspect of the original hypertext vision of Tim Berners-Lee, Sir, of the WorldWideWeb as an online collaborative space <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee>, the idea that got me interested in the computers and Internet, my hula hoop.


I might try to change ManBitesDog to a higher level of the wiki sidebar, so it is its own heading, with any sub-pages listed under it, so that "Fluxlist.Badger" would become "ManBitesDog.Badger" and be listed under ManBitesDog along with other pages of similar hierarchical naming, but putting them in the sidebar might take some of the exploration out of it. And, it would more purely dedicate the wiki to fluxlist, something about which I was hesitant to be so literally bold.

In any diary, the day comes for looking elsewhere, and so I too will probably be out of the office again for a while.
