Sharing

The FedWiki is first and foremost an individual writing platform.

Sharing is as simple as copying the web browser's URL (internet address) below the tabs and sending that to other people by e-mail or any other means. When they use it in their web browser it will open all the pages that you had open when you copied the URL. You can arrange the pages in the best order for your audience.

The originator of the FedWiki, Ward Cunningham, has had a lifetime of what he calls "pair programming".

With the invention and development of the FedWiki he is extending that experience to writing more than just computer code. With the FedWiki you can write about pretty much anything (including computer code).

Two or more people can see what each other is writing and that can inform and even inspire their own thinking and writing.

Real time monitoring of the others writing is built into the FedWiki with recent changes. Also, each FedWiki page prominently shows the newer versions of the page in the federation. With one click one can compare their page with any other page with the same title. Most pages with the same title have been shared by copying, often with edits, additions, and deletions. I find many of the modifications to my pages are improvements so I just copy the changed page back.

The history of all of this creating, copying and editing is visible on each page, at the bottom and easily reviewed. This also allows one to revert to earlier versions.
