Wiki: What structure do we use?
With our resources of time, skills and money available in addition to an approximate number of future contributors, we decided on using a wiki structure for Not Found On. Whilst the most known use of a wiki is Wikipedia, they are also often used by companies, schools and academics to organise and share research. Wikis are not particularly sexy. They are clunky, can labour intensive, and totally have their limitations.
Still, they are a free and open-source tool that enables co-writing among large numbers of people and includes multiple media formats such as text, audio, and video. It is stable and relatively easy to install and to manage your own version. And, crucially, it has a large community sustaining the technology which is necessary for the longevity of the project.
This page is created using media wiki and semantic media wiki:

- ↑ What is transclusion?
- Transclusion is the inclusion of part or all of an electronic document into one or more other documents by hypertext reference. Transclusion is usually performed when the referencing document is displayed, and is normally automatic and transparent to the end user.
