2 �� The Content Concept Among the multitude of wikis, we have selected two to present to you: the widespread and relatively simple MediaWiki, and TWiki, as a piece of ambitioned wiki software. � MediaWiki is fairly easy to install, and user-friendly in its operation. However, it also offers a series of features, such as a user administration, and it can be employed as a simple but good communication and organizational tool for groups of the most varied of sizes. In short: It is the ideal introduction to wikis. � TWiki is very challenging to install and, especially for technical applications, assumes a good deal of skill and knowledge. Using TWiki also takes some getting used to. Yet for complex projects, it is worth the effort, because it offers a great deal of design options. The caveman on the cover of the German edition inspired us in putting together our practical examples. Among other projects, he and his clan use a wiki to organize a conference in the Neolithic Age. Admittedly, the combination of 21 st -century technology and stoneaged humans is not always consistent, but we hope it is demonstrative and a bit amusing. In the forefront of the wiki discussion are the social methods of communication that crop up as a result. To this extent, the book also attempts to be something more than a pure software manual. Some will be irritated by the political fifth section. The wiki communities, as the free software culture before them, have provoked extensive socio-political discussions that are conducted at conventions such as the Wizards of OS or the Chaos Communication Congress. So pour yourself a glass of wine, get comfortable, and enter into a debate of issues discussed there. Don't be shy to spin it out further. We look forward to your reactions, contributions and feedback, and wish to offer a platform for these debates. At our Internet site, www.wiki-tools.org, you have the opportunity to submit amendments, questions, criticism and suggestions – including with regard to the technical side of wikis. Preface
How to Use this Book The book is conceived to be read from front to back. However, it is more realistic to expect readers to jump to “their” chapters. That is why, next to the section headings, we have also included an indication of how deep into the wiki software a respective chapter delves. Authors need less previous technical knowledge than wiki and web administrators. � Beginners should start with sections One and Two. The Wiki Concept provides a general introduction to wikis. It treats all questions that crop up with one's first confrontation with wikis. What are wikis? How do they function technically? How do you explain the fascinating phenomenon that open systems do not end in chaos? � In Our First Wiki, we introduce MediaWiki, the most wellknown wiki clone. Here, we will introduce you to practical work with wikis and invite you to experiment. We'll show you how to install MediaWiki so you can get an idea of how it functions. For instance, you will see how formats or tables are generated, and lots more. � Don't be discouraged by TWiki, the Jack-of-all-trades. Installing TWiki requires a good deal of experience, and is more aimed at future and current web administrators. Yet this section also contains an introduction to using TWiki, which is also of general interest. � In TWiki as a Project Kit, we introduce TWiki as a tool for the management of self-organized projects. Here, we'll show you further useful plugins and add-ons, such as the practical Edit- Table plugin or a diagram tool. It is difficult to estimate the degree of preliminary knowledge required on a general basis. The installation of the plugin takes some getting used to. However, the function of already installed plugins is easier. On the whole, we wish to demonstrate that you can do a great deal more with wikis than “just” writing encyclopedias. They basically support also any other type of project. � Tools with a Future intends to expand horizons. On the one hand, it deals with current technical developments and important wiki projects. On the other, we provide a short summary of the social debates taking place within the wiki community. How to Use this Book � � � 3
