Lifekludger Wiki

In a few months the Lifekludger blog will have been going for four years. What started as a desire to share my thoughts about how I use technology as a person who lives with disability quickly turned into a platform to espouse the vision of Lifekludger.

My hope is that by sharing ideas on how technology can be used to make the lives of  people living with disability easier and more fulfilling, this sharing could turn into collaborative action that will bring together the people who need technology to live, those that have ability and desire to create such technology, and those people who want to support them in some way.

During the years it’s existed the role Lifekludger blog has played has been one largely of education of the possibilities that technology offers, the barriers that exist and ideas on how to change the barriers into possibilities. However a blog is largely a one way affair and Lifekludger is meant to be many to many. I’ve been aware that I personally do not wish, and cannot be, a bottleneck to Lifekludger expanding. Increasingly I was aware of Lifekludger needing a ‘place’ for the ‘platform’ – a place for people to interact and be involved.

Over a period of time I’ve been looking at the best way to progress this and so over the past weeks I’ve installed a copy of MediaWiki (the software wikipedia uses) on the Lifekludger server as a place to focus and grow the Lifekludger network.

My hope is that the wiki will be used by all and any interested in promoting the vision of Lifekludger. I would like to see it become the place where people share and link and collaborate.

The Lifekludger blog will continue to do what it’s always done. To inform, educate, push ideas and share about how technology is the perfect tool to help people living with disability live more enriched lives and to rant about things that seem to prevent that and how to overcome it.

There is a link to the wiki at the top of the blog. The url is http://lifekludger.net/wiki.

I hope you will all sign up at the wiki and get involved in any way, shape, form and amount you can. Together, everyone achieves more.

See you there.
