I have used many of Ward Cunningham's slides from a previous slide show he has done. http://c2.com/doc/wikisym/ This is for http://talk.alliedmedia.org/amc2012/sessions/free-research-methods-activists

1. Wiki
Research
As publishing tool,
as community tool.

3. Wiki is not Wikipedia
Wikipedia is a Wiki

7. Write Only
Memory
Weblogs
Facebook
Twitter
&
Most Commenting Software

13. Future Links
Links to pages that do not currently exist
are a gift to the web given by wiki.
Someone may have had an idea and left it
for the next person to fill out. On a wiki,
these types of links are open invitations for
participation.
On Wikipedia these are known as red-links and not tolerated.

25. Recent Changes
Like the newspaper of the website, tells you
where the activity is.
When someone makes a change on the site, it
shows up here in Recent Changes.
Two key elements
(diff)erence and page (hist)ory

26. Occupy Boston

35. (c) GapingVoid.com

36. Giving Voice
A wiki, you see, is the voice and platform
of the worker, and there are many, many
more workers than managers. A wiki is a
way for workers to organize themselves
and to serve their own needs without
waiting for the boss, the manager, or the
Encyclopedia Britannica to do it.
Demir Barlas (paraphrased)

37. Wiki As Jazz
Jazz is the art of negotiating agendas while playing music.
The Creative process incarnate.
Rugged individualists creating art on the spot
Every moment you make a decision about how
to organize this music to make it stronger.
Musical Anarchists
Wynton Marsalis (paraphrased)

38. (more) Wiki Pros
About the work that needs to be done
Entry point is low
Good way for people to get involved
People converge on ideas and don’t
need to interact other than building.

39. (some) Wiki Cons
Not visually attractive, mundane
Simple idea, yet more complicated
than just point and click editing of
a tweet, facebook or weblog
comment.

42. Allied Media Wiki
What would that
look like and be?
