"33 Wikis" -- Send in Your Nominations

Dear wiki lover:  starting tomorrow morning, eastwikkers will be launching a series called "33 Wikis," featuring best practices in wiki-based collaboration.  Each day -- for 33 days -- we will focus on one wiki, and we will briefly describe what the wiki is for, why we like it, and what we can all learn from it.   We have a long list to choose from -- we have consulted with a number of wiki evangelists already -- but if you would like to nominate a wiki, please let us know asap.  The wiki can be public or private, and it can be based on any wiki platform, commercial or open source.  We want to hear from all comers. 

On day 34, we will repost all nominees on a wiki, so that we have ongoing meeting place to discuss all things wiki.

I'd like to nominate ukcider wiki at www.ukcider.co.uk/wiki which combines a highly effective consumer orientated guide with practical support from a community of practice about craft cidermaking.

I'll put in my unselfish request to look over Wikitravel, the project to create an Open Content travel guide.

I was just alerted to a great sports Wiki over at http://www.armchairgm.com. They've really done a nice job customizing MediaWiki to create a vibrant online sports community.

Hi, I hope it's not too late to enter!

http://LyricWiki.org
is a wiki for song-lyrics. It is the alternative to those annoying lyrics sites plastered with ads and incorrect lyrics.

One unique thing about the site is that I used bots to scour the internet, and then add the songs to the database. The main bot is adding 200,000+ songs. After running for 4 days, it's about half done right now.

Hope you like it!
PS: Love this site, keep up the good work :)

Hi here a new wiki proposal: http://www.javapolis.com
This wiki is supporting a technical conference, people can collaborate through it with each others or with speakers, they can make remarks, suggestions, upload their pictures and so forth. We have extended the wiki with special macros to embed video on the pages.
Registering is free and then you can play with it.

Here is a community wiki that was recently created using Central Desktop. (http://www.pasadenaschools.info)

The wiki was created and adopted by the Altadena For Action neighborhood community (in California) to discuss and gather information to protest the local School District's proposal to convert local schools without adequate community involement.

The wiki is relatively new but is actively being updated by non-tech savvy neighborhood volunteers to post documents, discuss ideas, schedule meetings and stay up to date with local news and events about the School District.

Check out Cii Wiki at cii.wikispaces.com, which includes information about survey software and hosting services and helpful information about conducting online surveys. It's relatively new. We're looking for reviewers and general feedback about the applications.

I won't nominate openpolitics.ca as I had a lot to do with it, or Green Party of Canada Living Platform, likewise. But some you should seriously look at are: dkosopedia.com - the wiki augment to dailykos.com and consumerium and sourcewatch.org, all very well developed and solving serious difficult problems.

[Craig Hubley]

Also wikocracy, embodiment wiki, wikitravel are interesting and potentially useful and important.

I would like you to take a look at this site. http://wikicpa.com, what I hope will become a site for "all things CPA" as in Certified Public Accountant.
