Subject: Wiki for collaborative hacking

As another step to support collaborative hacking for improving EdSharp 
and other open source projects, I have created a wiki at
http://wiki.EmpowermentZone.com

It uses a standard configuration of the MediaWiki software, popularized 
by Wikipedia,
http://wikipedia.org

Currently, the best way of learning to use the wiki is by learning how 
to use the MediaWiki application.  A collection of text tutorials on web 
content management systems, defined broadly, is available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/cms_doc.zip

It includes tutorials on MediaWiki, Drupal, PHPMyAdmin, PHPBB, 
WordPress, and other new media applications.

At this point, I have not figured out how to change the default name of 
"My Wiki" to something more customized!  If anyone else can give me a 
tip on that, or can volunteer to help others become wiki contributors, 
please let me know.

Other documentation collections that have recently been updated include 
the following:

MySQL
http://EmpowermentZone.com/mysqldoc.zip

PHP
http://EmpowermentZone.com/php_doc.zip

and PostgreSQL
http://EmpowermentZone.com/pgsqldoc.zip

To go directly to the wiki page called HackingEdSharp, the URL is
http://wiki.empowermentzone.com/index.php?title=Hacking_EdSharp

Feel free to create wiki pages or categories on other topics on which 
you would like to teach or problem-solve together!

P.S.  I realize that a source code control system would have additional 
benefits.  My web host (HostMonster.com) does not have a simple script 
for installing such an application (a simple script enabled me to create 
this wiki).  I hope others feel free to create more online resources in 
a similar spirit of using new media applications to support new or 
better interactions among us.
