This wiki's current primary use is as a compendium of development information for Creative Commons tools. Start at the Developer page.

Edit

Some articles may be editable only by administrators. Feel free to make suggestions concerning those articles on their "talk" pages, e.g., one for this page. These and other measures are in place to battle spammers. We apologize for any inconvenience experienced by you the gentle writer, unless you're a spammer.

That said, please dive in. If you see content that needs to be expanded, fine tuned, is simply missing, you're probably right! Create and remix, please.

We're running the same wiki software as Wikipedia. If you've edited articles there, you should feel comfortable here. All else equal we'll try to follow practices established by the Wikipedia community.

If you're not certain feel free to leave a comment on the relevant article's talk page or ask on IRC in realtime.

Migration

The original Creative Commons Wiki content is still available at http://oldwiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Main_Page

In order to facilitate moving to a slightly updated license (see CcWiki:Terms of Use) and to drop lots of cruft and to avoid upgrading through several versions of MediaWiki we decided to launch a brand new wiki. If there is content on the old wiki that you created and that you believe should continue here, please manually copy the article(s) over.
