This Content Creation Wiki is focused on People Projects And Patterns in Software Development.
The idea of a Wiki may seem odd at first, but dive in, explore its links and it will soon seem familiar. "Wiki" is a composition system; it's a discussion medium; it's a repository; it's a mail system; it's a tool for collaboration. We don't know quite what it is, but we do know it's a fun way to communicate asynchronously across the network.
To find a page on any specific topic, go to Find Page. To see an auto-generated list of pages which have changed recently, try Recent Changes. If you want a short list of randomly-selected pages, try Random Pages. Category Category is the top level of page categorization; you can use it to delve deeper into the site.
Edit pages by using the Edit Text link at the bottom of the page you wish to edit. Don't worry too much about messing up, as the original text is backed up and can be easily restored (meaning, everyone can see the changes made, and will be able to correct mistakes, erase, and so on, if necessary).
The Text Formatting Rules are quite simple, and the Tips For Beginners will help you learn to apply them gracefully. You'll probably want to start by editing pages that already exist. The Wiki Wiki Sandbox is set aside for editing practice. Go there now to try it. (Please don't edit this page; changes here will likely be reversed within a few minutes).
Once you've made a couple of updates, you'll be ready to participate in discussions on the "Wiki", and before you know it you will be Adding New Pages.
Please read Wiki Wiki System Notice for the latest information regarding the operation of this site.
This site's Wiki Engine, Wiki Base, has since spawned other Wiki Engines, which themselves have become a popular way to document things.
If you want information on the content you can expect to encounter, take a look at On Topic and Off Topic. Wiki In The News collects mentions of this site in the wider world.
