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 blog platform, 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 admin(@)feministwiki.org or [https://twitter.com/FeministWiki @FeministWiki] on Twitter.

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.
