(2010-09-14) Dent Wikiness

Chris Dent on WikiNess (WikiWay). A wiki is a synthesis engine. A tool in a community. It allows an individual or group (usually smallish) to discover the gaps and connections in their understandings and then through exploration of the network and comparison of the nodes, fill in meaning. This means that the most important features in a wiki, for learning, are: Link As You Think, BackLinks, RecentChanges, and whatever you want to call what Tiddly Wiki reifies as “MissingPages”.
