Welcome to the wiki-net. We’re casting it here.
The wiki-net is a concept for an exchange of information about wikis among neighboring wikis wikilandia-wide and cross wiki engine using syndication.
Read aggregated information about the ‘wiki-net’ on odd-wiki-center-en: 'wiki-net'.
Very very long ago. People invented the knot.
Then they invented the net.
It took thousands and thousands and thousands of years.
We invented the wiki-node recently.
The wiki-net is now to follow.
All wikis should join the wiki-net. Having a wiki-node on your wiki it’s already half way in it anyhow.
We use irc.freenode #wikinet for chat.
Everybody can write everywhere here (= wiki). All you need is to use a state-of-the-art browser. Just click “
edit this page” to the upper right on any page of this wiki. Or edit today's talk.
In the sand-box you can try wiki out. You find short wiki-instructions in it.
You should take a look at the messages from odd-wiki before editing.
This wiki runs on the free / open-source Oddmuse wiki software.
We also use clean linking and local names in this wiki but feel free to write as you please. CamelCase? works, for example WikiNode.
Click face to see the face without the front and to edit the day-page-set.
one big soup
The page kabo-wiki-hive / whoRthey-wiki: one big soup has been started. The one big soup supplies a wider angle view than the wiki-net even and in full text and it was first though about on community-wiki: one big soup.
There are more possibilities in the kabo-wiki-hive than in the odd-wiki-hive. It’s called whoRthey-wiki to pay homage to whoisi.
ning: wiki-net
The page ning: wiki-net has been started. It’s not a wiki, true, but it might help on a discussion about the wiki-net.
Introducing twitter2wiki
If you hashtag a twitter-message with #WikiNet it automatically shows up in the side-bar of the 'wiki-net'.
A very simple video about how the wiki-net would work
You create a resonating fundament and the soup starts grooving.
Mattis Manzel presents the recent development of the wiki-net in a five minute lightning-talk on the 24th Chaos Communication Congress - 24C3 - in Berlin
Mattis Manzel prepares his text on the page The neuron of the hive-mind: wiki.
The first set of lighning-talks take place the 28th at 11:30 in hall 2 of the Congress Center Berlin. There will be video footage available a few weeks after the congress.
multiple improvements have been made to the wiki-net in the recent weeks
Little or not have they been documented and presented up to now though.
The ‘turbo mother pages’ for day-page-sets: before [1], after: [2].
The main wiki and the list wiki of wiki-hives turned into “dual core wikis” [3] [4]. Both offer links to full information about the neighborhood: its changes [5], its lists [6], the ideas behind it [7].
A new wiki-net icon is used linking wikis in the wiki-net to the project 'wiki-net'. 
The wiki-nodes include the wiki-list(s) of the center-wiki(s) that a wiki has a home page in. That results in an automatically updating list of probable neighbors for a wiki on its wiki-node.
The list page for a wiki in the list wiki for a wiki-hive [8] includes the changes to the wiki. The list page (including the changes) is deep linked to the home page for the wiki in the wiki-center for the respective working language in use [9].
A straight forward “use a state-of-the-art browser” icon has been introduced 
To see the changes of any wiki in the neighborhood of the wiki-hive your wiki sits in it’s three clicks maximum: Go to the wiki-hive main wiki linked on top. Click wiki-net hive-lists [10]. Find the neighboring wiki in the list and click it.
A facebook group wiki-net has been set up
Simulating the (first) wiki-net server manually
Lists of “watching” wikis were added to the two pages face and changes of the ‘wiki-net’, the odd-wiki-center-en, Mattis-Manzel-wiki and on some others. Such lists could automatically be updated using a wiki-net server.
Note that the fact that another wiki is “watched” by a wiki on the pages wiki-net changes or wiki-net faces doesn’t mean that the other wiki is “watching back”. It can do so but it doesn’t happen automatically. Every wiki-community decides for itself about “watching back”. So connections can be “half-” or “full-duplex”.
The connections are confusing to arrange manually even with only a few wikis and keeping the list entries of “watching” wikis up to date is sheer madness - as the wiki-net is (supposed to be) dynamic. Automatisation is needed and possible.
The wiki-net writes a perfect history of itself in the form of the sum up of all pages wiki-net of all wikis that make part of it. The newest - currently valid - day-page “wiki-net” always on top, the older ones following.
The wiki-net server “knows” about all the current little wiki-nets of all wikis. You can draw a nice map of the current state of the wikilandia hive-mind using this data. You can even make a video showing how this mind developed from its very first beginning until today using the histories on all the different pages wiki-net. And pretty likely there is much more you can do with it.

wiki-net chat on freenode #wiki-net
The irc-chat for wiki-net was set up on irc.freenode, channel #wikinet.
The idea of a wiki-net-server is in the air
The wiki-net is young but developing decently. The idea of a wiki-net-server (or several?) collecting and spreading the information about what wikis have which other wikis “in their focus” = in their day-page-set wiki-net obviously is in the air.
Yalla! The wiki-net has been invented these days.
Hopefully we get this whole one-big-soup groove somehow, yeah!
