Wiki 的設計理念

Open – Should a page be found to be incomplete or poorly organized, any reader can edit it as they see fit.

Incremental – Pages can cite other pages, including pages that have not been written yet.

Organic – The structure and text content of the site is open to editing and evolution.

Mundane – A small number of (irregular) text conventions will provide access to the most useful page markup.

Universal – The mechanisms of editing and organizing are the same as those of writing so that any writer is automatically an editor and organizer.

Overt – The formatted (and printed) output will suggest the input required to reproduce it.

Unified – Page names will be drawn from a flat space so that no additional context is required to interpret them.

Precise – Pages will be titled with sufficient precision to avoid most name clashes, typically by forming noun phrases.

Tolerant – Interpretable (even if undesirable) behavior is preferred to error messages.

Observable – Activity within the site can be watched and reviewed by any other visitor to the site.

Convergent – Duplication can be discouraged or removed by finding and citing similar or related content.
