Wikiverse: The faster Wiki Encyclopedia

wikiverse

I really like Wikipedia but the problem is that the dynamic site can be very slow to use, Wikiverse fixes this by providing a static site that is synchronised with the dynamic site. If you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia it is a very large (greater than 1,000,000 articles) open source encyclopedia. Wikipedia works by allowing the Internet community to create and maintain the articles creating a very large editorial community. If you wish to just browse of search the encyclopedia then I recommend using Wikiverse as it is much faster without all the dynamic content.

thanks for the tip . it's good to know the wikis are not asleep on their laurels . i can't believe the australians had a hard time with your name . they obviously didn't have an art background , otherwise they'd have said : egon , yes , like egon schiele . BTW , you're not using textpattern , are you ? Posted by: bo at September 30, 2004 11:08 AM

no I am not using textpattern, why do you ask? I had not seen it before. Found the web page though. Textpattern seems to have some very different features like a web-based CSS editor and a web page to edit the raw PHP files in the plugin modules. Although overall it just looks like another system that combines wiki style page development and blogs together. There are quite a number of these. Drupal is another. I am using plain old HTML and MoveableType Posted by: Egon Kuster at September 30, 2004 06:58 PM
