The Hitchhiker Guide to Wiki

​A 24-hour decentralized hackathon for the next 30 years of Wiki

​🌌 On March 24 at 9 p.m. GMT, we kick off the first-ever Hitchhiker Guide to Wiki—a decentralized, 24-hour hackathon to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first wiki!!!

​Infused with the chaos, humor, and imagination of a galaxy where “Don’t Panic” is solid advice—we’re gathering humans, bots, rebels, nerds, and networked thinkers to dream up what Wiki could be for the next 30 years.

​This isn’t just nostalgia. We’re building.
A new prototype of the Guide is already in orbit—now it’s time to imagine how it evolves: interactive, decentralized, weirdly alive.

​You’ll find:

​Discussions with Ward Cunningham (inventor of Wiki) and Jeremy Ruston (creator of TiddlyWiki)

​A sneak peek at a new tech stack for Guide-building

​Messy live coding and even messier livestreams

​Global decentralized studios (London, Lisbon, Istanbul, Argentina, Nigeria, Malawi, USA… and counting to 42)

​Everything is being documented, improvised, and co-created.

🌀 Expect the unexpected. This is just the MVP. Bigger events are coming in April and a full galactic Hitchhiker Congress in November.
