Learning and Knowing with Federated Wiki
summary
Federated Wiki claims that sharing happens entirely in the browser and that each participant runs a small Node.js site so pages fork and write back to the owner, with histories embedded in JSON so the history travels with the page. In classrooms a class of 18 routinely produces hundreds of pages instead of a few dozen, solving the “do your own page” problem by encouraging forking and divergence. The project runs “happenings” that generate thousands of pages — it’s a working system, not just an idea, showing browser-based federation and proliferation over consensus.
