Explore how info-sharing platforms reflect community values and put these ideas into practice by creating an experimental wiki website!

In this workshop, we will discuss how information sharing platforms reflect community values and then put these ideas into practice as we create an experimental wiki website. Covering the basics of building and contributing to wiki-based websites, there is room for more advanced participants to explore the technical aspects of wiki development. While Wikipedia is the most famous wiki, the skills learned here can apply to any website based on the wiki format.
