Install Your Own Wikipedia
The collaboratively edited Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org) is a vast, searchable repository of information, constantly written and re-written by its readers. Don’t you wish you or your group could have your own editable encyclopedia of brain dumps and documentation like Wikipedia? You can. MediaWiki (http://mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki), the software that runs Wikipedia, is freely available for anyone to install. In this hack, you set up MediaWiki on your Windows PC and add and edit pages to your new, local personalpedia.
