Wikimedia Foundation Startar Wikivoyage - Den Fria, Världsomspännande Reseguiden Som Vem Som Helst Kan Redigera! 2013-01-18 13:00 CET Wikimedia Foundation startar Wikivoyage - den fria, världsomspännande reseguiden som vem som helst kan redigera! Wikimedia Foundation kan stolt meddela att vårt nyaste projekt nu är officiellt lanserat —Wikivoyage, den fria, världsomspännande reseguiden som vem som helst kan bidra till. Wikivoyages mål är att skapa en fri, aktuell och pålitlig världsomspännande reseguide, skriven av resenärer, för resenärer. På Wikivoyage kommer resenären i första hand och den skrivs genom samarbete av Wikiresenärer från hela världen. Vår wikigemenskap välkomnar alla reseintresserade att hjälpa till att bygga en reseguide fri från kommersiella intressen. Wikivoyage finns för närvarande på nio språk: engelska, franska, holländska, italienska, portugisiska, ryska , spanska, svenska och tyska. Allt innehåll på Wikivoyage omfattas av upphovsrättslicensen Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0, en fri licens som bland annat gör det möjligt att vem som helst kan läsa, kopiera, skriva ut, spara, ladda ner, redigera, sprida, sälja och korrigera innehållet på vilket sätt som helst, förutsatt att de som skapat innehållet tillskrivs det arbete de lagt ner och att det nya verket görs tillgängligt under samma licens. Wikitravel, en av de första reseguiderna som utvecklades med wikiteknik, startades 2003 av Evan Prodromou och Michele Ann Jenkins, genom att använda sig av programvaran MediaWiki. År 2006 köpte Internet Brands (IB) webbadresserna wikitravel.org, .com och .net, samt varumärket och andra rättigheter med namnet "Wikitravel". IB upplät även serverplats och flyttade allt innehåll till sina egna servrar. Innehållet förblev licensierat enligt en fri licens från Creative Commons, vilket gjorde att innehållet även fortsättningsvis ägdes av skribenterna och att frivilliggemenskapen kunde fortsätta redigera och hantera reseguiderna på webbplatsen. IB avsåg att införa annonser på webbplatsen för att kunna få tillbaka de pengar man lagt ut vid köpet. Man hade även köpt en liknade sida, World66, och avsåg att slå ihop de två webbplatserna. Merparten av skribenterna på den tyskspråkiga versionen av Wikitravel blev bekymrade över de planer den nya ägaren hade och beslöt därför att skapa ett likadant projekt under eget namn och genom en så kallad fork. Forkning, att kopiera innehåll till en ny wikisida (ofta på grund av oenighet om policies eller administration) är en förhållandevis vanlig företeelse i wikisammanhang och medges av den upphovsrättslicens från Creative Commons som används på många siter, till exempel Wikitravel. För att underlätta frivilliggemenskapens beslut om en forkning startade man den tyska icke vinstdrivande ekonomiska föreningen Wikivoyage e.V. 10 december 2006 startade man den nya tyskspråkiga sidan under namnet Wikivoyage, med hjälp av innehållet på tyskspråkiga Wikitravel. En italiensk version startades 10 december 2007 och hämtade på motsvarande sätt sitt innehåll från Wikitravel på italienska. År 2012, efter långvarigt och djupt missnöje med Wikitravels ägarem Internet Brands, föreslogs att de kvarvarande skribenterna skulle forka sitt innehåll och ansluta sig och innehållet till Wikivoyage. Målet var att skapa en ny resewiki under Wikimedia Foundations paraply. Efter många och långa diskussioner bland användarna på de olika webbplatserna, med kommentarer från de respektive webbplatsägarna och en bekräftelse från Wikimedia Foundation att man kunde tänka sig att ha ett reseguideprojekt om användarna så önskade, valde nästan alla användare med administrativ funktion att forka sina bidrag till Wikivoyage. Allt innehåll på Wikitravel, oberoende av språkversion, laddades 2 augusti 2012 ner som en databaskopia i syfte att förbereda för en sådan flytt. Vid denna tid var detta fortfarande möjligt med hjälp av Wikitravels programvara, men strax efter nedladdningen stängde Internet Brands av denna möjlighet, i syfte att förhindra en forkning. Det kopierade materialet blev en ny startpunkt för alla nya språkversioner på Wikivoyage, förutom de tysk- och italienskspråkiga versionerna som redan fanns hos Wikivoyage. Diskussionerna inom Wikimedia slutfördes 23 augusti 2012 med 540 röster för och 152 röster emot en reseguide inom Wikimedia Foundation. Projektet lades upp i betaversion på WMF:s serverpark 10 november 2012. Som en del av flytten är det tänkt att Wikivoyage e.V. kommer att fortsätta som en del av projektet genom att vara en systerorganisation till Wikimeda Foundation, på en organisatorisk nivå. Wikivoyage e.V. har meddelat att, i och med att man inte längre behöver underhålla sina egna servrar, istället kan öka arbetet med att kommunicera, diskutera och informera, samt ge stöd till och föreslå tekniska förbättringar för webbplatsens programvara. Wikivoyages bidragsgivare ser nu fram emot att få bygga den bästa reseguiden, med hjälp av tusentals skribenter världen över, och med stark uppbackning från Wikimedia Foundation och Wikivoyage e.V. Wikimedia Foundation Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. är en icke vinstdrivande, donationsfinansierad organisation som verkar för att uppmuntra tillväxt, utveckling och spridning av fritt, flerspråkigt innehåll, och att dessa wiki-projekts hela innehåll är kostnadsfritt. Wikimedia Foundation driver några av de mest samarbetsbaserade projekten i världen, till exempel det nätbaserade uppslagsverket Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation är en skattebefriad, icke vinstdrivande stiftelse med huvudkontoret i San Francisco i USA. Wikimedia Foundation är inte en traditionell organisation. Det är en världsomspännande rörelse, där lejonparten av arbetet görs av tusentals frivilliga världen över. Denna frivilliggemenskap stöds genom ett nätverk av olika organisationer, med Wikimedia Foundation i centrum och genom samarbete med lokala stödföreningar i 39 länder. I Sverige utgörs denna organisation av Wikimedia Sverige. Det är denna frivilliggemenskap som gör det möjligt för oss att nå så stora reslutat med så lite resurser. Bland Wikimedias mål för 2015 finns bland annat punkten att vi skall nå en miljard människor, att vi kraftigt skall öka och sprida deltagandet och att allt Wikimediainnehåll skall förbättras. Wikimediaprojekten heter Wikibooks, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikinews, Wikiquote, Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wikispecies, Wiktionary, Wikiversity och Wikivoyage. Kontakt Axel Pettersson, [email protected], 0733-965565 De flesta känner till Wikipedia, det fria uppslagsverket som är en av de tio mest besökta webbplatserna. Wikipedia finns på 300 språk och har över 50 miljoner artiklar totalt (2019) och har skapats helt och hållet av uppslagsverkets användare. Vad de flesta inte känner till är att Wikipedia är helt ideellt. Wikipedia drivs av den icke-kommersiella organisationen Wikimedia Foundation. Runt om i världen har det bildats stödföreningar för att hjälpa till att utbilda och upplysa människor på deras eget språk om Wikimedia Foundations olika projekt. Wikimedia Sverige arbetar i Sverige för att göra kunskap fritt tillgängligt för alla människor.

  • Knowledge Management by Wikis
    Knowledge management by wikis Sander Spek [email protected] Institute for Knowledge and Agent Technology Universiteit Maastricht Abstract Wikis provide a new way of collaboration and knowledge sharing. Wikis are software that allows users to work collectively on a web-based knowledge base. Wikis are characterised by a sense of anarchism, collaboration, connectivity, organic development and self-healing, and they rely on trust. We list several concerns about applying wikis in professional organisation. After these concerns are met, wikis can provide a progessive, new knowledge sharing and collabora- tion tool. 1 Grassroots knowledge sharing During the last decades, the sharing of information and knowledge has gone through an unheard rapidisation. Both the amount of information shared, as well as the speed in which this happens, has taken a huge flight. In many fields of progress, professional organisations were more ad- vanced then ‘amateur knowledge sharers’. Remarkably, in some fields this has changed over the years. On the Internet, many succesful grassroots initiatives have popped up, that still didn’t make it to the somewhat static and controlled environment of professional business organisa- tions. Think of free-software projects, but also of free-information projects, as wikis, weblogs, and open news sites like Indymedia. (Möller, 2005) In this paper, we will examine on of the most popular and upcoming knowledge sharing enablers on the Internet: wikis. Consequently, we will discuss why wikis are not (yet) adequate for a professional environment, and what could be changed to have companies adapt the power of wiki-based knowledge sharing too. 2 Wikis Möller (2005, page vii, translated) defines wikis as “open websites that can be edited by every visitor.”1 We will extend this definition in two ways: (1) we explicitly state that modifying can also include deleting information, and (2) we mention the fact that a wiki is in fact a knowledge base.

  • Public Wikis: Sharing Knowledge Over the Internet
    Technical Communication Wiki : Chapter 2 This page last changed on Apr 15, 2009 by kjp15. Public Wikis: Sharing Knowledge over the Internet What is a public wiki? A public wiki refers to a wiki that everyone can edit, that is, it is open to the general public on the Internet with or without a free login. Anyone is welcome to add information to the wiki, but contributors are asked to stay within the subject area, policies, and standards of the particular wiki. Content that does not relate to the subject or is not of good quality can and will be deleted by other users. Also, if a contributor makes a mistake or a typo, other users will eventually correct the error. Open collaboration by anyone means that multiple articles can be written very fast simultaneously. And, while there may be some vandalism or edit wars, quality of the articles will generally improve over time after many editors have contributed. The biggest public wiki in the world, with over 75,000 contributors, is Wikipedia, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" [1]. Wikipedia has over 2.8 million articles in the English version, which includes over 16 million wiki pages, and is one of the top ten most popular websites in the United States [2]. There are versions of Wikipedia in ten different languages, and articles in more than 260 languages. Wikipedia is operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation [3] which pays a small group of employees and depends mainly on donations. There are also over 1,500 volunteer administrators with special powers to keep an eye on editors and make sure they conform to Wikipedia's guidelines and policies.

The name "Wiki" was chosen by Ward Cunningham - - the creator of the first Wiki. It is a shortened form of "wiki- wiki", the Hawaiian word for quick. A wiki is a web site that is generally editable by anyone with a computer, a web browser, and an internet connection. Wikis use a quick and easy syntax to allow users to apply formatting to text and create links between pages. This simple formatting syntax means that authors no longer need to learn the complexities of HTML to create content on the web. The main strength of a wiki is that it gives people the ability to work collaboratively on the same document. The only software you need is an Wiki wiki sign outside Honolulu International Internet browser. Consequently, wikis are used Airport. (Image courtesy of A. Barataz) for a variety of purposes.

  • About Mediawiki
    Chapter 1 About MediaWiki MediaWiki is an open-source wiki engine originally developed for use on Wikipedia, and Wikipedia is still by far the best-known use of it. But MediaWiki is also in use on tens of thousands of wikis around the world – it’s almost certainly the world’s most popular wiki software. It’s also most likely the world’s most powerful wiki software, although that statement will require more justification – hopefully this book will provide suitable proof. In this chapter, we’ll start with some of the non-technical aspects of MediaWiki. History of MediaWiki The history of MediaWiki starts with Wikipedia, and the history of Wikipedia starts with wikis, so we’ll begin there. In 1995 Ward Cunningham, a programmer who was already known for his work in defining software design patterns, created the first wiki, on his company’s website, c2.com. It was a very simple website, with one bizarre-at-the-time feature: every page had an "edit" link, where random visitors to the website could modify its contents. The wiki was meant to hold information about design patterns, as part of a section on the website called the "Portland Pattern Repository". Cunningham was inspired by HyperCard, an Apple application from the 1980s that stored information on editable "cards" that could link to one another; he wanted to create something similar for the then-new World Wide Web. For the name of this concept, Cunningham originally thought of "QuickWeb", but then remembered the "Wiki Wiki Shuttle", an airport shuttle he had taken in Honolulu, Hawaii, and decided to call his new idea "WikiWikiWeb".

  • Wikiwikiwebs: New Ways of Interacting in a Web Environment
    WikiWikiWebs: New Ways of Interacting in a Web Environment Brenda Chawner, School of Information Management, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Paul H. Lewis, Gregg-Graniteville Library, University of South Carolina – Aiken, Aiken, South Carolina 27 August 2004 Introduction Tim Berners-Lee originally saw the web as "a system in which sharing what you knew or thought should be as easy as learning what someone else knew" (Weaving the Web, 33). However, early browsers only provided read access to existing HTML pages, and this "publishing" model for the Web has predominated. WikiWikiWebs give us one option for realizing Berners-Lee's early vision – a wiki is a server-based collaborative tool that allows any authorized user to edit pages and create new ones using plain text HTML forms. The first WikiWikiWeb (or wiki for short) was developed by Ward Cunningham for the Portland Pattern Repository in 1994/95. It can be found at http://c2.com/cgi/wiki, and is sometimes called Ward'sWiki or TheOriginalWiki. Wikiwiki is the Hawaiian word for fast, and a WikiWikiWeb is a quick web site. Cunningham wrote the original wiki in PERL. There is now a wide choice of software for wikiwikiwebs, and wikis are growing in popularity as people explore their potential in different contexts. This paper and the associated presentation will: • describe the history and development of wikiwikiwebs; • list typical wiki features; and • outline factors to consider when choosing a wiki engine. Selected case studies will illustrate wiki applications in a library and information management context. The presentation will include a demonstration of a range of wiki features, using several wiki engines.

  • History Characteristics
    Wiki 1 Wiki A wiki ( /en-us-wiki.oggˈwɪki/ WIK-ee) is a website that allows the creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor.[1] [2] [3] Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used to create collaborative works. Examples include community websites, corporate intranets, knowledge management systems, and note services. The software can also be used for personal notetaking. Wikis serve different purposes. Some permit control over different functions (levels of access). For example editing rights may permit changing, adding or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Other rules can be imposed for organizing content. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest [4] online database that could possibly work." "Wiki" (pronounced Hawaiian pronunciation: [ˈwiti] or Hawaiian [5] pronunciation: [ˈviti]) is a Hawaiian word for "fast". History WikiWikiWeb was the first wiki.[6] Ward Cunningham started developing WikiWikiWeb in Portland, Oregon, in 1994, and installed it on the Internet domain c2.com [7] [8] on March 25, 1995. It was named by Cunningham, who remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee telling him to take the "Wiki Wiki Shuttle" bus that runs between the airport's terminals. According to Cunningham, "I chose wiki-wiki as an alliterative substitute for 'quick' and thereby avoided naming this stuff quick-web."[9] [10] Cunningham was in part inspired by Apple's HyperCard. Apple had Wiki Wiki Shuttle at Honolulu International designed a system allowing users to create virtual "card stacks" Airport supporting links among the various cards.
