Whitman's foes create Wikipedia-style gossip site
,----[ Quote ]
| Calling it "the first open-source
| opposition research file in history,"
| Democrats targeting Meg Whitman"s
| gubernatorial bid Monday launched a new Web
| site "â Wikimeg.com "â where users can
| freely post critical information about the
| billionaire ex-CEO of eBay.
|
| And the site"s owners, the labor-funded
| Level the Playing Field 2010, say there are
| only two rules: Keep it civil, and keep it
| factual, citing a source. They say they"ll
| be checking regularly to make sure
| everyone"s playing along.

The Wikimedia Foundation: doing strategic planning the open source way
,----[ Quote ]
| From the main page, you can read the entire
| strategy memo that was presented to the
| Wikimedia Foundation board just last month.
| The memo itself is stunningly smart. Google
| must have thought so too, because they made
| a $2 million donation to the Wikimedia
| Foundation, announced a few weeks ago.

WikiCrowd: Lightweight Wiki for Collaborative Editing
,----[ Quote ]
| There are a few things that set WikiCrowd apart from
| other wiki engines. Take, for example, its installation
| procedure. WikiCrowd doesn't require any database back-
| end, so you only need a machine with an Apache server
| and PHP 5.2 for it. WikiCrowd comes as a single
| install.php file which does the donkey job of installing
| the wiki on your server.
