@neil@social.coopRoam is now talking about ‘multiplayer’. I’m presuming this means linking between individuals’ wikis. I like the idea of interlinking wikis, but imagining it’s going to be pretty closed in Roam.
Bill Seitz has lots of ideas about a more open WikiWeb.

@neil didn't Ward Cunningham add federation to his wiki software?
Ward created

But Neil, I looked for Wiki Sphere and didn't find anything...got a link?
Thanks, found some relevant pages there. Maybe the same as Neil was thinking of, or maybe not...

@bhaugen @jboy Indeed so with Ward and fedwiki. I still haven't delved deep with it, really should.
I'm approaching wikis from the perspective of personal wikis, which is not really that much different from the original notion of a homepage/site. So I'm thinking lately that webmentions would provide a lof utility in linking that space of wikis.
Another angle is collaborating on a genuinely common but distributed wiki - wonder if fedwiki might work better on that model.
@neil @bhaugen There's a case study of using federated wiki for that kind of purpose in this essay: https://hapgood.us/2015/10/17/the-garden-and-the-stream-a-technopastoral/
@BillSeitz @neil @bhaugen and down the rabbit hole I go! impressive wiki you got there, Bill!
@BillSeitz Have you ever thought about adding a random page link like Wikipedia has? As a tool for serendipity?
@jboy yeah, I should do that. I used to have a bot that would tweet a random page, but all my bots died last year, I'm waiting for new laptop->OS->OpenSSL to revive them.
@BillSeitz
Yes, thanks. Somebody else showed me those collections a few days ago, always more interesting to get it from the source.
As @jboy said, down the rabbit hole! I might resurface with some questions...
@jboy @neil yes but it only works if you use his engine
