We introduce the parts of a Federated Wiki page. The "Story" is a collection of paragraphs and paragraph like items. The "Journal" collects story edits. Should you take my page and edit it as yours, I can see what you've done and may decide to take your edits as my own.
We'll be making a series of short videos to show off features of a new wiki that's still in the works, and we'll share it with you on github and in these videos as we discover what it really wants to be.
YOUTUBE 2R3LM_A7Cg4 Ward introduces the parts of a Federated Wiki page.
This is what it looks like: it's narrow, narrow in the sense that it looks good on a phone, and it's also designed to be federated.
Federated means that your pages and my pages don't get mixed up unless we want to mix them. It means that mixing is a very important part of this, and it'll be something we're developing over the coming months.
We call it the smallest federated wiki and this is the first federated page which is meant to be copied many times. Let's just edit it a little bit. We'll call it the smallest federated wiki and now we updated that page.
This has a series of paragraphs. The paragraphs are editable individually also they can be moved around. That's part of the editing capability.
Notice that we have a journal showing up here. This is called the story and this is called the journal, if we point to that before edit, we can see what paragraph was edited and we started moving seeing so we can see what paragraphs are moved. This is the history of the document, which becomes a very important part of the document and when you take my page, make some changes, then I want to see what you've done and bring those pages back to my site, I change my site, you change your site, you know there's not going to be any spam on your wiki unless you go out and find it and pull it to your site.
This is what I think the future of sharing in a pervasive Internet is going to be.
