This website operates under [[MediaWiki]] software and thus has the potential to be a [[Wiki|wiki]]. However, the site is protected against random editing, which means that you must create a user account to edit articles. In addition, at present only [[WikiSysop]] can create new accounts, because the wiki was recently spammed (read the details at [[Spam Attack]]). The site thus currently operates as the personal database of [[User:MichaelSlattery|Michael Slattery]]. The companion site the [http://ctwiki.ouvaton.org Convivial Projects Wiki] is still a true wiki, although as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_A._Wiley David Wiley] says: "A wiki without contributors is nothing but a blog on steroids." | This website operates under [[MediaWiki]] software and thus has the potential to be a [[Wiki|wiki]].

[[Ivan Illich]] coined the term [[Convivial Tools]] in his book [[Tools for Conviviality]], first published in 1973. [[Convivial Tools]] are tools which allow the user to operate with independent efficiency. At the same time, [[Convivial Tools]] include tools that are developed and maintained by a community of users. [[Convivial Tools]] thus include tools that are developed and used by on-line communities, such as [[Free and Open Source Software]] and [[Wikis]]. | [[Ivan Illich]] coined the term [[Convivial Tools]] in his book [[Tools for Conviviality]], first published in 1973.
