A wiki is a web server that anyone on the internet can edit, traditionally by using a web browser. The one I have set up is a bit different from the others since it can be accessed either using a web browser or using an Acme client. The wiki itself is provided by a file system (what else?) that runs underneath the web server or underneath the Acme client. This means that it is equally accessible to Plan 9 and non-Plan 9 users. I have seeded the wiki with the contents of the Plan 9 "Getting Started" document, but my hope is that various readers of this list will find it worth their while to fix up or add whatever they feel is wrong, unclear, or missing. I think that collectively we can do a good job of presenting useful information in an accessible manner. Recent converts especially may have a much better feel for what needs more explanation than is currently there. There is, of course, a huge potential for abuse. Please don't. If the server fills with various objectionable material, we'll take it down, and I really don't want to do that. The web interface is at http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9, and you can download the Acme client from the usual updates page. Enjoy. Russ
