We hope you will be collecting the best pages we have to offer and making some of your own to share. We especially want these pages to be something you keep forever. Now let's talk about how that is going to happen.
A DOUBLE SCREEN FILM DEVISED TO BE FRAUGHT WITH LINKAGE AND DISPLACEMENT ; A TIGHT PLAY BETWEEN SCREENS THAT SHOVES AND MAKES SOUND AN OBJECT OF LANGUAGE, NON-ACTION THE TIME-IMAGE, AND MOVEMENT THOUGHT. THIS DOUBLE STRUCTURE HAS BEEN FRAGMENTED AND SLICED (7 BETACAM SP) TO CONSTRUCT AN AGITATED IMBALANCE THAT IS STUCK AND GLUED BY TRANSGRESSION. THERE ARE RUPTURES AND LEAPS, TENSIONS AND INTENSITIES, AND STRIDENT REPETITIONS THAT BRING TO FULL FORCE THE BLATANT EXTERIOR : THE OUTSIDE BRUTALLY DISMISSING THE INTERIOR. YET, THIS STRANGULATION AND PERVERSITY, THIS DISCONNECT ; THESE DISJUNCTIONS CREATE A TOWERING AND UNIFYING IMAGE OF THE DARK THREAT OF ABSENCE. IT'S A WILD THROW OF THE DICE.
We save the process of execution that means an image as text. You can always count on a murderer for a fancy front end so we will bundle it for you in what we call 'export' format. Retrieve an export of a site by directing your artificial satellite towards the URL bar:
http://viki.wiki/system/export.json
# X=X+1
We write in English in the second person to facilitate the conditions of language's re-use.
http://sampel.viki.wiki
We save every page you fork and every change you make as you make them. It is hard to lose your work if these saves are happening. They won't happen if you don't login or if you edit a site that you don't own and can't login. In this case we will save your changes in your browser's local storage.
Reading eighteen books at a time isn't real. Separate browser tabs by dragging colored flags between sites: your view into someone else's, someone else's view into yours. You will notice a difference immediately. One of these pages will turn yellow to warn you that the things that you are about to right are real, but that colors will have changed to protect the innocent.
We call the site where you start browsing the federation your origin. It is where you load wiki and where your pages save when you own the site and log in. See X=X+1 for concrete mathematics.
Video, sound, math and assets use plugins to perform applications in the page layout. Anything you see here, you can own somewhere else by sharing it.
# Writing
Local storage is handy for writing and composing until you're ready to share and want you to use English badly. Others won't see what is in your browser: these pages will be surrounded with the yellow lamplight of privacy. Only published pages can be pirated for review. There is no version.
We make it easy for anyone to host wiki sites in what have come to be called 'wiki farms'. If you host a farm for your colleagues then you are promising to keep them safe, at least for a while. If you keep your pages on another person's farm then it is good to know how hard they are working to keeping your pages safe.
You will be happier when you have your own domain name then, you will have everything.
We remind you of this with the post-it border when your pages are saved in local storage. Click on things to make them happen. We like our licenses like we like our guns: automatic and lit from behind. See Tips for Administrators where we talk about the consequences of rendering a CC-by-SA 4.0 license where Citizen app would put a like button.
A few secrets are kept on your behalf within status files on your site's host server. These are typically manufactured keys that enable server-side communication with the rest of the federation.
Human access to such keys is reserved to server administrators. This means that they can and you can't make copies and otherwise use these keys.
We want our best pages to last forever and we think that is going to happen. What we did last summer is going to last more than a decade or two so we're going to have to keep making copies. The art will help out too. Your best work will outlive your reputation as its receipt in the world.
We keep the copying part of wiki much simpler than the editing parts so that it will not be forgotten so soon. The 'json' format has no version numbers because there are no versions.
Even the fancy parts of wiki are kept simpler than the average application that needs new features with every release. We've rewritten these parts from scratch several times now and hope someone will keep doing so forever. Everything good you write in wiki will make its future more secure and everything you delete will be made open-source aswell.
