Memory Wiki
The goal of the site is to create a continuously expanding archive of memories on the web. MemoryWiki memoirs can be about almost anything that the writer believes is significant. This includes both personal experiences (a first kiss) and historic experiences (the 9/11 attacks). One might think of MemoryWiki as StoryCorps on the web. Both share a common mission: to allow the people to share their common experiences now and with the future. MemoryWiki is non-profit.
MemoryWiki is built on a modified version of Mediawiki, the same Content Management Software used by Wikipedia. No registration is needed to add memoirs; users just choose a title and begin to type. Once the memoir is entered, MemoryWiki editors (“stewards”) will format it, index it, and then lock it so no further changes can be made. Authors can alter or delete their memoirs at anytime by notifying the editors.
