Visitors are always welcome at the WikiWikiWeb!!! This community has been around for a long time and consists of a large number of people, and it is always accepting of newcomers with valuable contributions.
All wiki content is work-in-progress. This is a collaborative forum where people can share ideas and record any consensus reached on difficult issues, along with rebuttal. It changes as people come and go, as experience develops, and as opinions change. If you are looking for authoritative or stable information, you will need to look elsewhere.
Please remember that other people are already working here, and they may find some things you do to be inappropriate to this Wiki. Discussion here is focused on PeopleProjectsAndPatterns, mostly as they relate to programming. Other WikiWikiClones focus on other subjects, so you may find another forum that better suits your interests. MeatballWiki, in particular, likes to encourage experiments in hypermedia collaboration. Also see the TourBusStop if you are interested in visiting other wiki forums.
The general tone here is casual and respectful. Unlike chat rooms, newsgroups, or private e-mail, wiki content is expected to have some seriousness and permanence. Authors are encouraged to write thoughtfully and to think about how their writings fit in with the rest of the existing wiki content. Heated arguments about religion, politics, and current events are discouraged. OffTopic content is tolerated when the community finds it interesting or entertaining, but it is likely to be deleted if not.
Please do any testing or experimentation in the WikiWikiSandbox. Creating new pages that do not have important content is annoying and impolite. It is also impolite to change existing pages if you do not improve them in some way.
Here are a few things you can do here to get a feel for Wiki:
Some say you should probably read widely on this wiki and participate on existing pages before adding any other new pages. On the other hand, AddingNewPages can be just the thing to keep things fluid. You don't have to spend much time on Wiki before you figure out how you fit in.
And again, welcome!!
