Wiki Farm
„From the Bibliographical Society:
Following the recent successful launch of the London Book Trades wiki (LBT: https://lbt.bibsoc.org.uk/), the Bibliographical Society is pleased to announce its latest electronic venture. Our goal is to promote the use of MediaWiki software as a suitable vehicle for bibliographical databases. We have created a ‘wiki farm’ on our web server which enables us to host multiple independent wikis using MediaWiki or Semantic MediaWiki software.
The London Book Trades database is now joined by two other wikis running on the wiki farm: a database of over 200 editions of the Satires of the Roman poet Juvenal printed before 1601; and a database of over 2,000 British Library books printed in France between 1501 and 1520. You can read more about the three wikis and this new development at https://bibsoc.org.uk/bibsocs-wikis/.“
