OurBigBook Docs
OurBigBook is a bit like a Wikipedia where each person can have their own version of every article.
This addresses the main shortcomings of Wikipedia:
- contributors are not clearly recognized for their contributions. Clearly knowing who wrote what, and having upvotes and reputation is an essential motivation mechanism for free knowledge contributors.
- what you write can be deleted at any time, for two major reasons:If you spend four hours writing a tutorial for a website and it gets deleted without comment, you are never ever going to write everything for that website again.
- excessive notability guidelines
- the requirement for "encyclopedic tone", which precludes in theory tutorials
In OurBigBook, you can write about whatever you want, and no one can delete it. - inconsistent page granularity: it is somewhat random if an article deserves to be a toplevel page, or only a subheader. With OurBigBook, every header is a toplevel page with the dynamic article tree feature.
