Wanted: Structure and ideas for the Campaigns Wikia

Posted by Angela Beesley on July 7, 2006 (Politics, Wiki, Wikia)

The new Campaigns Wikia is off to an amazing start!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wiki gain so much interest in under two days. 248 registered users have edited the site and 452 people have subscribed to the mailing list. There was so much traffic on the list, we had to make a separate announcements-only list.

The project has already been written about on Slashdot (and survived). It is mentioned on hundreds of blogs and is on all sorts of sites, from LinuxWorld and ZDNet to The Seattle Times.

What the wiki really needs now is some experienced wiki users to bring it some structure (it’s a scary tangle of discussion mixed with everything at the moment), and more ideas to feed into the ongoing discussion about what this wiki is for.
