== Welcome to the LINCOLN NEBRASKA Wiki ==

The Lincoln Wiki is a user friendly, and user controlled website that will likely become a wealth of information about the places and things that make Lincoln so great.
Have a favorite park, restaurant, or band that you want people to know about? Make a page for it on the Wiki!
I aim to make this a comprehensive directory of everything available of interest in Lincoln, and to be a source of local events, news, and discussions that simply cannot be made via corporate sponsored media, or realistically in the actual world.
But first... What is a Wiki??? below is the description by the creator of Wiki, Ward Cunningham...

Wiki is in Ward's original description:

"The simplest online database that could possibly work.

Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.

Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.

Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.
