Announcing ZhongWiki

Last week saw the launch of the first version of ZhongWiki. A wiki for people learning Mandarin Chinese. It's still in it's infancy, but I have a feeling it might become a great site and possibly a vibrant community.

A wiki is a site that can be edited and expanded by basically anyone. The best known example is Wikipedia. This site however does not try to be an encyclopedia, but rather a resource and a meeting ground for students of Mandarin. This means that not everything has to be properly sourced and you don't need to have a neutral point of view. Opinions are appreciated and encouraged.

The name ZhongWiki is a wordplay on 中文 which means Chinese language and is pronounced "zhong wen" in Mandarin. It is written in CamelCase with the "Z" and the "W" capitalized as a homage to early wikis which used CamelCase to create links in pages.

So head over to ZhongWiki if Mandarin is your cup of cha, and keep a lookout for the edit button.
