Gwern's site isn't a wiki, though?

• dsr_ 3y ago
  "Gwern.net is im­ple­mented as a sta­tic web­site com­piled via Hakyll from Pan­doc Mark­down and hosted on a ded­i­cated server (due to ex­pen­sive cloud band­width)." I would say that the distinguishing characteristics of a wiki are: - it is intended as a general repository of human-readable articles [x] - it is designed so that authorized users can edit articles easily [x] - it has affordances for lots of linking, internally and externally [x] So, from the viewpoint of Gwern Branwen and only Gwern, it's wiki-like. Nobody else has authorization or easy article editing, as far as I know. So for everyone else, it's just a really interesting site.
