What is Tutorialpedia?
It's an online tool you can use to create tutorials, write documentation, and convey technical know-how. What you write is shared and editable by others.
At Tutorialpedia.org we are working towards (1) accumulating a large amount of contribuited technical know-how and (2) developing an online toolset which is fun and usable, allowing you to write documentation using a specially designed markup system.
You can already find useful information with search engines like Google on the Web. That's great, but most of the times the authors don't have time to spell out everything in detail, and there are steps which could be re-used from another tutorial.
Furthermore, we have been watching the online conversations going on, and sometimes the commenters on the original tutorial come up with more efficient, easier solutions and ideas. On Tutorialpedia, those ideas and best practices are immediately included in the original article!
It's tutorials building upon each other...
...that help you learn! When you add a new tutorial, you can base it on the others: instead of describing some steps of the tutorial task in detail, you can sometimes reference an existing tutorial (Don't Repeat Yourself principle, or DRY). And as we build more tutorials, we try to organize them in a way that makes it easy to re-use content.
Our vision is to create a web of tutorials that reference each other, designed to help you learn and understand in depth facts you want to know when learning a new technology.
Who writes the tutorials?
Any Tutorialpedia.org registered member (called Civis) can contribute and add a new tutorial. To add a tutorial, click on:
What is different about Tutorialpedia?
Everyone can contribute to a tutorial
The tutorials don't have a single author who has ownership over the text. This way, the articles belong to the community and are open for modification by anyone who has an idea that will improve them.
One of our longer-term goals is to allow Tutorialpedia members to gain reputation, which can help them get their message across with more ease, or get a better job.
The structure of Tutorialpedia Community
All registered users are considered Civii of Tutorialpedia, and, as the site is being developed, will have the right to hold functions and apply for candidature for higher level positions, and most importantly to vote and decide who gets different responsabilities throughout the website. It will be easy to become good - anyone performing their duties well will go up pretty high in the hierarcy, but that requires some work.
We are focusing our efforts on building a highly organized and democratic
community on the web, inspired from the administration of the Republic of Rome.
You are welcome to join, register now and become a Civis!
