Wiki - positive aspects

• anyone can become an editor
• all content is public
• revision system keeps track of each edit
• enforces semantic structure. Making possible converting wiki pages to other formats (markups): HTML, EPUB, ICML, LaTex, etc
• API can request wiki pages's content and metadata programmatically

Wiki - down sides

• a flat space, made only of pages and users
  • how to organize a publication in this space?
  • what structures to adopt?
  • how to organize a workflow of authors, editors and proofreaders ?
• messy, difficult to read and navigate
  • necessity for alternative reading spaces

Reading spaces - publications

• Website http://beyond-social.org/
• Web-to-print paper publication
• Authors & Articles map

Glue

How did we connect editing and reading spaces?

• Wiki API - fetches wiki page's content
• Pandoc - converts wiki content to HTML
• HTML templates - structure and design for each website page
• glue scripts - interlinking all these elements
