Welcome to wikiworld.org wiki.

This wiki is showcasing some alternative futures for WikiPedia.

The wiki's aim is to fuse art, technology and education, to create a website that is a joy to explore and collaborate in. Good explanations that tackle topics at varying levels of complexity and that make it fun to be a learner take centre stage.

As a result, we have to do things differently to Wikipedia. Individual voices, rather than just neutral encyclopedic content will be heard here. This probably can't work on the scale of Wikipedia, but it can work here, where the content is more person centred. What we can do though is offer vistas and technology and images for Wikipedia to pick up or not. We offer tools for creating good content.

Everything here must be licensed on terms that are compatible with Wikipedia, so that content created here can be freely used on Wikipedia itself.
