A Knowledge Evolution Revolution: Contribute with ease. Watch how information changes over time.

Description

A Blicki is a blog and a wiki. The purpose is to create a platform on which anyone can share knowledge. The blicki makes it easy to contribute with a front-end blog editor, while showing how information is added to and evolved.

Features

  • Front-end blog-style editor. No markdown required.
  • Anyone can edit. Visitors do not need to create an account to contribute.
  • An admin role has the ability to moderate new pages and edits.
  • Revision history and stats show at the footer of each blicki entry.
  • Links that connect to other entries on your Blicki.
  • Each entry has a table of contents. Hello easy navigation.
  • Images can be added via hyperlinks. Don’t worry about your Blicki getting weighed down with too much or oversized media.
  • The Blicki can be added to previously built sites via a custom post type. You can have a website, a blog, and a blicki all in one!

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/blicki directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
  3. Use the Settings->Plugin Name screen to configure the plugin (?? not sure we’ll have this)
  4. Your wiki content can be found by clicking ‘Wiki’ on your dashboard’s sidebar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if someone shares false knowledge or something that shouldn't be on the Blicki?

New entries will be submitted for moderation by an appointed admin. Edits to entries will send a notification to the admin to review.

Do I have to use the wiki markdown language to contribute?

Nah - we're adding a front-end blog editor, so you can leave the brackets behind.

Does the Blicki have a theme song?

Of course! That blicki. That blicki wiki.

Why is there a C in Blicki?

The 'C' stands for carrot. Also, bliki.com was registered in 1999 and is unavailable.

Can I set a blicki page as the front page of my site?

That setting isn't an option right now, and it's for a good reason. The front page of a wiki-style site is a great place to explain the purpose of the site and introduce navigation links around the blicki.

Here's information on creating a static front page:
