The first Boston Wiki Wednesday was a success, though it got started at
11pm rather than 6. Of the 5 people who had RSVP’ed, some had other
plans in the early evening, so we rescheduled… Ivan and I
grabbed dinner at Nine Tastes
instead. We were soon joined by Dustin, Erik, and her
Starkness. They knew the beautiful people sitting next to us,
naturally. We covered speed reading and salsa preferences.
Later that night, we invited the Harvard Free Culture club to come join us at John Harvard’s; and talked about the Penn State wiki, wysiwyg dominance
of the editing world, why all the wiki software companies are on the
wrong coast, rewriting MediaWiki in Python, and the meaning of the
phrase “structured multilingual API”. A moderate quantity of beer
and coke was consumed, theoretically putting SocialText out twenty-one
bucks.
Next Wednesday will be Wiki as well, when David Weinberger sounds off about trust, anonymity, and wiki editorial practices, at 6pm at Berkman. Come join us.
