aka Wiki Sphere; parallel to Blog Web, the universe of (clusters of) Wiki Space-s. (To think of Wiki-like links across Web App-s, see App Wiki!)
List of mechanisms of linking across wikis... these can have value among both loose communities of interest and multiple wikis run within the same formal organization. See Wiki Standards.
For techniques above that generate connections automatically, how many wikis should be included?
Maybe just those (~12) from your Creative Network. (Maybe you're a member of more than 1.)
But even with 1 other wiki, a Wiki Word can be vague enough to have different meanings in the 2 contexts.
So This actually raises the idea of using messier/richer techniques for sloppy association of sub-wikis. "Apply the WikiWeb techniques above to the nodes in Ross M's wiki that are "close" to the Social Software node, to the nodes in Jack S's wiki that are "close'" to the Education Theory node...." You could use a link-distance calculation (Wiki Distance), or something based on fulltext analysis...
Another idea is to allow stupid linking, but use a richer interface that would make "false" matches more obvious. Say a Touch Graph/Idea Graph view that showed your Cast node linking to Peter J's Cast node, but you would see that Peter J's other nodes connected to Cast were about Metalsmithing, while your nodes close to Cast were about Theater. So you'd just ignore that signal.
How will Group Forming Networks work? (small-scale WikiWeb)

meta-ramble: I'm not interested in creating Virtual Community for its own sake via Wi Ki. The Hyper Text shaping of Information Space imposes an implicit Mod El over its nodes. I find it hard to achieve Coher Ence/Converg Ence outside the following situations:
a single mind - a Thinking Space
a small Tel Ic group grounded by Action Able outcomes/Miss Ion - Team Work
assume: everyone smart has their own personal Wiki Log (Spreading Wikiweblog)
and maybe a Private Wiki as well
probably Multiple Thinking Spaces
- start on your own
some ideas are on your Private Wiki, some are on your Wiki Log
you start thinking deeply about a specific idea, make separate space for it? Or use Sub Pages?
- find like minds
- typically blog discovery process
monitor via RSS
add them to your Sister Sites list
form group to accomplish something (including Making ALiving?)
- work together (80% of time)
- share revenue
- disband
how work together?
shared Team Wiki (hosted where?)
coherent common sense (Shared Vision)
focused Con Text
shared To Do List
Remote Wiki URL defined for each member's personal site
Sister Sites for all member sites (SubsetWiki) (Overlapping Scopes Of Collaboration)
server-side aggregated all-members Recent Changes view (not incl local pages) (Near Recent Changes)
EMail for discussion (Wiki Mail) (Email Discussion Beside Wiki)
author in Smart Ascii
first line or Remote Wiki URL-like line defines default wiki Name Space
- shared global archive? how avoid having everyone receive everything?
with no archive
send Smart Ascii
Rich Client (Moz Illa) renders to HTML, links Wiki Names to appropriate namespace, and views HTML
Reply gives body of original Smart Ascii, not HTML
with archive:
- same as without archive, but also...
put message's archive URI at the top of the body
insert Purple Numbers bits
