2023-10-10 Oddµ, the original idea

A wiki is a hypertext collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience. In this case, that is just me. 😃

It's the simplest, most bare-bones way to write hypertext: edit text files and link them to each other. Via the web, it's the simplest, most bare-bones content management system possible: visit a page, click the edit link, there's the text, there's where you put the words, save, and – bam! – it's live.

This ease of use and this freedom brings with it some responsibility: there is no user interface to guide the writer, no software to help organize the pages.

This wiki runs Oddµ, also known as Oddmu. Check out the README.

This wiki doesn't offer Recent Changes because there are no anonymous edits. Peer review is not needed. There is no Recent Changes in order to announce changes because I assume that wikis are always a *secondary* medium. The wiki is a repository of text which is the result of other processes happening elsewhere. Think of the wiki as the repository or archive for a chat room or a club or a project – even a single person project. Announcement happen elsewhere: "I wrote it up on the wiki."

Peer review

This being a bit of a blog means that it needs a feed, but this feed is a separate, optional tool.

Which is why Oddmu is lacking all of these things:

I think I like it! 😄
