What's all this then? #

A WikiWikiWeb is a "collaborative hypertext environment", with an emphasis on easy access to and modification of information. Anybody can edit any page in any way they want. Anarchy in action!

This wiki runs on the MoniWiki. The MoniWiki is a PHP based WikiEngine. WikiFormattingRules are imported and inspired by the ?MoinMoin, another 'flavour' of WikiEngine.

You are encouraged to edit the WikiSandBox whichever way you like - it's a playground for you to learn how to change Wiki Pages.

• You can edit any page by pressing the 'Edit Text" link at the bottom left of the page.
  
• Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another wiki page.
  
• The 'highlighted title' searches for all pages that link to the current page.
  
• Pages which do not yet exist are linked with a question mark: just follow the link to make a new wiki page.
  
  

To learn more about what a WikiWikiWeb is, read about ?WhyWikiWorks and the WikiNature. Also, consult the WikiWikiWebFaq.

Interesting starting points:

• RecentChanges: see where people are currently working
  
• HelpForBeginners: to get you going
