Technology that Enables Collaboration

This site uses the Collaborative Knowledge Base (CKB) environment hosted by SQI Inc. The core open source application is MoinMoin. Links in the next column provide overviews, tutorials, FAQs and documentation.

MoinMoinis one example of a new class of technology which enables collaboration. In this case the concept is Direct Publication. The Web Master is no longer the gatekeeper (or bottleneck). Simple, but very powerful, tools let any member of the community directly add to or edit the web site. See Principles of Knowledge Collaboration for more discussion of this phenomenal new approach
