Pounding Simplicity into Wiki

A working Federated Wiki is built that moves sharing into the browser, binds visualizations to data across sites, and keeps per-page history and forking. Live demos show D3 visualizations attaching to remote datasets, a three-line oscilloscope reading from a Teensy over USB, and a techzyme plug-in streaming sensor samples via websockets. Many experiments fail and get iterated; the system runs, refactors content by dragging paragraphs between pages, and proves the federation model practical.
