Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi all, I found this at the dailykos.com. Some of you might be interested to add this to your database, or even contribute, since it links to a wiki. The final url I've entered at the bottom is a suggestion for a page of the site to start. Ann What's the Deal With Avian Flu? by DemFromCT Sun Sep 18th, 2005 at 08:09:53 PDT (From the diaries -- Plutonium Page.) As many of you know, I've been writing about The Coming Pandemic since November. Hopefully, I've been doing it in a balanced way, trying to mix facts and calls for vigilance without undue hype and panic-mongering. Trying to discuss bird flu is like talking about hurricanes. In advance of one, it may seem like hype, but after one hits, you can understand the concern. In fact, one can't predict when and where something like that will hit, just that it will eventually come. People on the Gulf Cost understand that now. Some (but not enough) people in government and academia understand that as well. It is for that reason, in order to help folks with risk communication and personal preparedness, we helped start the Flu Wiki. It can act as a go-to resource for facts and informed opinion, not hype.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Andrea, You may have heard of wikipedia, which is an open source online encyclopedia(which can be a fun place to go to look stuff up). Anybody can add to it. Sounds chaotic, but check it out. But I guess the concept is used in other contexts -- so see this page: http://wiki.org/wiki.cgi?WhatIsWiki And if you're curious, as I was, as to the origin of the word(gotta catch 'em all:-) -- try here: http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/cs497rej/What+does+Wiki+stand+for? Democratically yours, Ann Ann, Thank you for posting this, but what is " wiki " ? snakeoil.works wrote: Hi all, I found this at the dailykos.com.
