This page contains an index of all the articles regarding the new project.
What is the new project? Well, the best way to understand is to read the series of posts that are chronicling its development. But in short, it is a new type of wiki. Or more precisely, it is a new type of wiki service -- a service that provides the functionality that a wiki requires -- and at least one client front-end on top of that service. But really, it is an experiement in transparent application development, something that goes beyond just opening the source code -- it is opening up the whole development process and the thinking that goes into building software. Well, there's more to it than that, but lets just wait and see what comes next...
