A wiki is a knowledge-base like an encyclopedia, but managed by the public.  The FeministWiki specializes on feminism, and is managed by feminists and their supporters.  Further, the FeministWiki platform offers an integrated "digital home" for feminists, consisting of a chat, forum, email accounts (''janedoe@feministwiki.org''), per-member and shared file storage, and more.  To become a member, all you need to do is contact an existing member and let them know about your commitment to the feminist cause.  You can also contact the project's technician at [mailto:admin@feministwiki.org admin@feministwiki.org] or [https://twitter.com/FeministWiki @FeministWiki] on Twitter.

Once you are a member, you will be given a username and password with which you can log in to all FeministWiki services.  You can read more about the details of membership [[FeministWiki:Membership|here]], and  more about the details of each service [[FeministWiki:Services|here]].  For an introduction to wiki editing, see [[FeministWiki:Help|our small help page]] or the bigger [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Contents MediaWiki help page].

Heads up: '''the FeministWiki needs you'''.  All of the technical infrastructure of the FeministWiki is only useful if there's a community making use of it, and content on the wiki doesn't write itself!  Be bold, don't shy off of asking for membership, and let the community and the world benefit from your added knowledge.  You can become a member even if you have no intention to contribute to the actual wiki; feel free to chat away with other members, discuss matters important to you on the forum, or use the file storage to have a central place to store your favorite information-material on feminism.

The FeministWiki belongs to the community.  However, the technical infrastructure is managed by [[FeministWiki:Technician|the technician]].  The first technician, who set up the infrastructure, is a male computer programmer who goes by the pseudonym "Social Justice Wizard" (humor intended) on [https://twitter.com/socjuswiz Twitter] and [https://medium.com/@socjuswiz Medium].  The technician has no leadership role in the community.  She or he is solely responsible for managing the infrastructure, offering technical support, and receiving membership requests.  For now, he also pays the bills (a relatively small sum) needed to run the infrastructure. See [[FeministWiki:Todo|here]] for the technician's personal Todo-list regarding the project, and [[FeministWiki:TechnicalDocumentation|here]] for technical documentation of the infrastructure.
