A note about structure:
If you add wiki pages that are specific to a particular dorkbot, please navigate to that dorkbot's pages (DorkbotNycWiki, for instance), and then add links with a "/" prepended. For instance: if you're here: DorkbotNycWiki and you want to add a link about cool things to do in nyc, you'd add: /CoolThingsToDo instead of just CoolThingsToDo. That makes the page specific to DorkbotNycWiki so that other dorkbots can also have their own pages called CoolThingsToDo. Pages of interest world-wide don't need a / prepended. You can also use ../SomePageNameHere to refer to pages that are above your current location in the structure.

What is a Wiki???
A WikiWikiWeb is a collaborative hypertext environment, with an emphasis on easy access to and modification of information. This wiki can also link to InterWiki space.
MoinMoin is a Python WikiClone, based on PikiPiki. The name is a common German slang expression explained on the MoinMoin page. If you run a Wiki using MoinMoin, please add it to the MoinMoinWikis page. Contributed code is on the MacroMarket, ActionMarket and ParserMarket pages. For more details and further topics, see the MoinMoin page.
You can edit any page by pressing the link at the bottom of the page. Capitalized words joined together form a WikiName, which hyperlinks to another page. The highlighted title searches for all pages that link to the current page. Pages which do not yet exist are linked with a question mark: just follow the link and you can add a definition.
To get an overview over this site and what it contains, see the SiteNavigation page.
