Kaminski Wiki

hosted by Peter Kaminski
A wiki is a collaboratively created web site. I host this one to keep track of things that are interesting to me and to other folks who come to visit. I think of it as an encyclopedia that gets written a tiny bit at a time. The structure and conventions used are still evolving.

Kaminski Wiki is a mostly personal wiki, but it's open to the public, too. It largely pre-dates Socialtext, my wiki company. Someday I'll move the content to a Socialtext workspace, but for now I've been too busy helping build the wiki service at Socialtext to get around to it.

For better or worse, Kaminski Wiki is a bit disorganized right now. It's still very useful for me, because I know what's here and how to find it, but there aren't enough road maps for others. I intend to remedy this by migrating to another tool some day; in the meantime, try looking at Recent Changes, a list of all pages, or the Search box at the bottom of each page.

Wiki variant note: Kaminski Wiki is a Use Mod Wiki. See Why Use Mod Wiki, And Wikis In General?

What Can I Do Here?
You (yes, you ) can edit any page you see within this wiki -- and even add new ones -- by clicking on the "Edit text of this page" link at the bottom of the page. For the general text formatting conventions used within Use Mod Wikis see Meat Ball:Text Formatting Rules. You can practice in the Sand Box if you don't want to start on a content page.

There is a Guest Book if you'd like to say you dropped by.

It's optional, but if you log in (click "Preferences" at the top of any page) before you edit pages, the wiki will keep track of who's posting and what your preferences are.

To browse and to see what's new, check out the Recent Changes page. If you're logged in, you can turn on a Random Page link in the toolbar, which is another interesting way to browse.

Remember that wikis evolve continuously, and their readers can participate in their evolution. If you see something wrong here, change it! If you wonder why something is the way it is, ask in /Discussion.
