Going Wiki

It has taken me quite a time to understand the potential of the Wiki-way to construct knowledge. I should be ashamed, as Wiki offers much of what I and what Demotech is looking for: initiating, sharing and upgrading information. Wiki is a tool. It is a web-tool. It is a tool for assisting people to collaborate on certain issues on the web. Such an issue could be the creation of an all compassing encyclopedia or another, more recent example, the better use of solar energy and thousands of other subjects of interest to some group somewhere.
It has taken me some time to understand Wiki and I thank Marc van der Kamp and Bart van der Vegt who kept on showing me its value and how to use it.
So now there is also a DemotechWiki.
As yet it is unclear how this will develop. It could become less Demotech and more a part of a greater Wiki on poverty alleviation or on technology in support of the environment. Now we just have to copy the content of the Demotech website into the DemotechWiki. As a start of the shared collaboration we seek, I invited Leonora to continue the work we did together last summer on "what Demotech is about" in this new Wiki mode. And of course she and I should actively invite people around to participate in this subject. So you too, present reader, are invited to join in at 'The craft of design'.
