I try to avoid it because I just keep opening more and more tabs until I notice that it's already three in the morning. I really like that it's actually a wiki and not just a collaborative encyclopedia.

Do you have favorite pages or anything you would recommend reading?

Are collaborative encyclopedias not wikis?
Why or why not?

That's a shame. I remember reading it years ago and it didn't require javascript then.

IIRC they changed software after getting spammed to death. You can just download the archive from the second link since it's now read only anyway.

I guess they are, it's just sad that every time wikis are mentioned most people tend to believe they can only be collaborative encyclopedias.

ward cunningham, the author of c2, decided to redesign wiki concept couple of years ago. that was around the time when javascript was an exciting technology, but before everyone realized what a horrible idea it is. he calls the new version smallest federated wiki, you can google it up. there are some useful features there, but i think the result is less intuitive. i've been following his blog with one eye during the redesign, and i wouldn't be able to tell you what the new featureset is supposed to be. backend gives out json, front end renders it, and you can have embedded computation on backend? there's also better forking? i wouldn't say it was a particularly successful redesign, and it also robed c2 specifically of its old timey charm.
