As mentioned in the comments section of an earlier posting, there is a FreeBSD wiki out there called FreeBSD Wiki (no kidding!). I love wikis. They make a great way to share knowledge. We should all get on there and add one piece of information. FreeBSDWiki has been pretty quiet lately, so it is due for an influx of new talent.
When I first started playing Oblivion, I was helping out quite a bit on OblivioWiki. It was fun while my Oblivion obsession lasted. But as is often the case with computer games, my interest faded, and so did my efforts with that wiki.
I check in regularly with the EmacsWiki. It is an incredible treasure trove of information for that beast that is Emacs. I'm constantly learning new ways to do things with Emacs, even though it has been my main editor for ten years or more. You can see my EmacsWiki page here.
And a cool add-on for Firefox is the Googlepedia. I often forget to check Wikipedia when I'm looking for information (I know I know, how could I?). With this add on, it splits your Google search window in two, with a usually appropriate Wikipedia page in it. Pretty nice, although sometimes the matches aren't correct, and it does tend to slow the response of Firefox down a little for a Google search.
I recommend the site pb wiki for setting up a quick 'n' easy wiki. There's a very functional free version available and it's pretty easy to use. Of course, many readers of this blog would prefer to set up their own, but I haven't yet done that myself. I should though.
And I'd be entirely remiss if I didn't mention the amazing Javascript feat that is TiddlyWiki, a one page wiki for users. I'm not sure I entirely agree with the concept of keeping your entire wiki in a single file, downloaded all the time, but it still is some incredible Javascript going on it there.
