Whats a Wiki?

Well, Wiki stands for "What I Know Is..." and its a term used to describe people coming together through an online forum to collaboratively piece information together on a wide variety of subjects. The most noteable is wikipedia - one of the worlds highest ranking and indexed sites on the internet.

Alfreton Fellowship has just recently launched its new online community forum for Alfreton called The Alfreton Wiki Project.

The project aims to become the centre of all knowledge and information regarding the Alfreton area through a collaborative process of contributions from local people.

If you'd like to get involved, please visit http://www.alfretonwiki.co.uk and simply just add your information and knowledge - its that simple!

We expect a range of people to get involved including local businesses who have an opportunity to create their own public record of the business services and activities they perform and to add a synopsis of the business history too. We would also expect people with local intertest and community groups to use the wiki as a method of providing information to local people in and around Alfreton.

Examples of how local Alfreton groups could use the Alfreton Wiki; an organisation like Alfreton Shopmobility could add information about the disability services they provide to people in the area or Alfreton Town Football Club could add information about the history of the club and the players in the team.
