Welcome to '''FeministWiki''', a wiki and a digital home for the feminist community.
Welcome to '''FeministWiki''', a wiki and a digital home for the feminist community.


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.

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 social media and blogging platforms like [https://medium.com/@socjuswiz Medium].  To reach the technician, mail to [mailto:admin@feministwiki.org admin@feministwiki.org].  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.
