From DJWiki

ProDJ Publishing announces today that it has launched a very extensive project for the industry that will never be completed! The DJWiki–the DJ-built encyclopedia–is being built by the community at Start.ProDJ.Com and is tied into the various resources related to ProDJ.Com–The Internet’s Source For DJs.

“There are dozens of books about and within the DJ industry; dozens of videos/DVDs; and tons more resources through the various national magazines, national and regional conferences, and associations. This is one thing the entire industry can work toward building together. The Wiki system allows any user who registers to make edits to the soon-to-be extensive and always-growing DJ encyclopedia,” says Ryan Burger of ProDJ.Com

From Wikipedia’s description of itself: “A wiki is a website that allows visitors to add, remove, and edit content. A collaborative technology for organizing information on Web sites, the first wiki (WikiWikiWeb) was developed by Ward Cunningham in the mid-1990s. Wikis allow for linking among any number of pages. This ease of interaction and operation makes a wiki an effective tool for mass collaborative authoring. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia, is one of the best known wikis. Wikis that are editable by the general public (such as Wikipedia) have been criticized for their reliability: certain individuals may maliciously introduce false or misleading content. Proponents rely on their community of users who can catch malicious content and correct it. Wikis in general make a basic assumption of the goodness of people.”

“DJ Wiki will be an awesome way to collect and categorize information for DJs. It will change the way that information is stored and searched, and will provide anyone with specific relevant information at their fingertips. DJ Wiki will be supervised to assure accurate information flows from it. The community process that exists will hone the content to a razor's edge.” – DJ Dr. Drax - ADJA National President & DJ Technology Innovator

In addition to the site's extensive educational content, it will also have directories of links, manufacturers, dealers, and other industry members. But in the end, the DJ Wiki will generally go in the direction that the industry and its users want it to go. While there will be editors and staff watching over it and helping to mold it, it will grow only with the help of every DJ who wants to help.
