What’s new in jaWiki
![[wiki logo]](http://johnaugust.com/Assets/wikilogo.png)
Last week, I opened up jaWiki, which to my relief and surprise hasn’t ass-ploded into a jagged minefield of broken links and PHP fragments.
The total number of articles has grown from 91 at launch to 121, largely driven by reader contributions.
Notable new entries include:
- [[non-diegetic]]
- [[macguffin]]
- [[red herring]]
- [[hubris]]
- [[advances and shortcomings of knowledge]]
That last one is a surprise; I like surprises. I’m happy to see articles that provide information on aspects of screenwriter-dom that I know little about. To that extent, I’ve created [[stub]] entries that I hope readers can expand upon.
There are also a lot of articles in the archive which could use some dusting-off and wikify-ing. Some possibilities include:
Again, jaWiki is an experiment. My hope is that it evolves into something useful and compelling. Time is the best test of theory.

The only obstacle for me regarding jaWiki is the fact that it isn’t based on the MediaWiki software. But that’s a hurdle that I’m sure I’ll be able to overcome in no time. (I’ve already overcome it. :P)

I’m glad to see that 71.107.59.175 added so many useful comments to my article “advances and shortcomings of knowledge”, which is now called “relative knowledge”. That’s the way a Wiki is supposed to work.
