Wiki technology is here! Bristol based technology company, FluffyLogic, have just completed an article for the Indepdendent newspaper on wikis;
Many believe that the web has entered its newest and most exciting phase: a communal era, which looks to both its altruistic beginnings as well as to its most powerful aspirations. The media technology leading this phase is known as the wiki. This approach to technology, based on sharing information and technology, is echoed among a wider group of web users, the open-source community. Ben Green, from a co-operative called Bristol Wireless, says: “We are starting to see open-source technologies replacing proprietary software and some envisage wikis replacing academic knowledge systems in the same way.”
Wiki’s are an important new concept and once more Bristolians are helping to put this technology onto the national agenda!
