Ever used Wikipedia to find information online?  For many people Wikipedia and other wiki style sites help facilitate sharing information in a format that is different from a traditional website.

Wiki’s are different from traditional websites in that nobody really “owns” the wiki.  Instead, a wiki is a collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified code language.  This video explains with a little bit more detail how it all works.

Salsa dancers here in San Diego now have their own wiki called Salsa Nirvana .  Salsa Nirvana is a wiki for salsa dancers by salsa dancers. I was contacted by Salsa Nirvana after they found Ritmo Bello online and with their help established a San Diego Salsa Dance Wiki that anyone can access today.  Now that San Diego has a wiki specific for salsa dancing there are lots of ways for people in the community to help.

If you are a studio or salsa instructor, for example, you can post information about your lessons and where you teach.  If you represent a salsa dance club here in San Diego you too can post information for the benefit of the San Diego community and those visiting San Diego.  If you have videos of San Diego salsa dancing that you want to share, you can post them here as well.  I already posted some basic information to start off the page and invite others to add to the page as well.

If anyone has any questions on how this works feel free to contact me, John ;-) at bello_jf@ritmobello.com
