Create a PUBLIC wiki??

I am seriously interested in creating and hosting a true public wiki. I've lived long enough to know that my ideas are usually wrong when I get a bright idea.

I've not been able to find a wiki that invites __everyone __ to participate. Is it because it's a bad idea? Or what?

It is on making. It is political, technological and philosophical.You might find it heavy and I hope you or any one else could have some ideas to plugin, welcome.

Thank you for your response, but that's my point. That site is quite good - but specific in nature. I'm talking about a site that has NO specific subject but is open to the creation of pages (and chat) on ANY (wholesome) subject.

Hi John!
I understand your question for an open platform with a forum or a real content man.sys. with a wiki.
My Question is - why do YOU not start such a wiki ? - it is realy easy on a technical Point of View.
Why not Here ? Or have you done this.

I opened some wikis in other wikifarms and the problem was always the members were affraid !
by thinking - "oh' all people can read this" ! Or destroy is not the matter..)

What YOu want is the opposite side of members - they are hard to be found- try it!

kind regards
Helmut.

P.S.: we ( the community ) are discussing now the legal problems of a "public" site .
I hope You know a lot of such problems You can get with such OPEN wiki ?

Our Wiki will be private ( if possible, perhaps we have to pay for it) as long as not all issues are clear.

Service is my success.
