Logi Logi Is No Wiki - LogiLogi - Where It Comes Together

Logi Logi Is Not Mainly a Wiki

The difference

Although LogiLogi uses Wiki-like editing, and is all about open-ness, the main difference between LogiLogi and most wiki's results from the direction LogiLogi takes. It targets discussion and philosophical and socio-scientific innovation instead of doc- or encyclopedia-building. Although there do exist a few discussion-wiki's, this is not the field in which they shine, and I think that this is because discussions require a different web-application, and thus a different name.

Then what is it

The big picture is that LogiLogi is all about open-ness, quality and relativism, by organizing small, one-idea articles around concepts, allowing for an integrated differentiation, so borders between subjects can become more fluid, without compromising their integrity.

Then how is it like this

The upcoming version of LogiLogi will support peer-groups that can rate tagged pages. A page can have many tags. These tags are not words but concepts, and concepts can have many names. Also multiple concepts with the same name can exist. Pages are visited using these tags as an url.

Pages can be locked by their authors (to ensure scientific responsibillity) but links can always be added to locked pages. Linking can be done in different ways. One can link to a word, to a concept, to a specific page or to a version of a page.

Linking to concepts is the default, and allows the system to grow without links becoming outdated or broken. A link can for example point first to a single page on Hegel within the history-section, and then as more are added, automatically to a whole section or specialization about this thinker.

Why is it

Because there is not really a form of sharing ideas in writing that falls between publishing a full sized article about it, and exploring it in a conversation with peers and friends. Now, the former is often much slower than neccesary, and the latter is often too temporal, even in it's digital form (fora). And I think there should be, and I think there can be, and there will be: LogiLogi.
