Introduction[edit]

Short introduction to your article. This will be shown as the first paragraph of your article.

For Beyond Social we use a specific type of wiki software, called ''Mediawiki''. The wiki is the central work- and publishing space for Beyond Social. By using the wiki as a backend (working) and a frontend (publishing) at the same time, it brings the act of reading & writing together. As Beyond Social is a project that aims to create a discourse for social practices, we hope that the wiki can serve as a tool to create and document the developments, reformulations and discussions of student projects, reflections and external initiatives. <br><br>This is an introduction to a mediawiki as a (social) platform, a historical piece of software and its position within the Social Practices. For a tutorial about how to get an account and practically work with the wiki, read the [[Manual|manual]].

For Cunningham wiki's are about speed, easiness and collaborative forms of writing and publishing on the Web. ‘People discovered that they can create something with other people, that they don't even know. But they come to trust and they make something that surprises them in terms of its value’. =Example wiki's= Consequently wiki's have been used extensively as environments for online collaboration.
