It was a great online community!
It was weird how shared content (what we think of as a wiki today) and discussion ("talk" pages on wikipedia) were all mixed together, and it somehow worked. The only Wiki I use these days that still does this is EmacsWiki. Google Wave felt like this in reverse, starting with discussion as default but you could edit everything into a document.
Also: hi Sunir!
- sunir 7y agoHey Amit! I still think the best I have ever written or contributed was from editing discussions over time into content. Slowly. I still use those skills. I just edited a Slack Q&A into a checklist on launching partnership integrations. The difference is I don’t write in the “WikiNow” any more because no one understands it except what someone once pejoratively called “wiki monks”. :) For reference: http://www.cloudsoftwareassociation.com/2019/07/11/the-complete-integrated-partnership-launch-checklist/ http://www.cloudsoftwareassociation.com/2019/07/11/the-compl...
