Here I explain how one might use the FiveStar plugin to create a "Best Of" rating site. This includes data collection, aggregation, and visualization using cooperating plugins. I wrote this for one specific user that was doing exactly this but tried to make it work for anyone. http://best.ward.bay.wiki.org/view/welcome-visitors/view/ward-cunningham/view/install-data-plugins/view/making-best-cities-site/view/best-cities-charter/view/best-cities

In the above documentation I assume one would know how to operate Plugmatic to install plugins. If not, here is a site that explains plugins. I use tips within when writing plugins myself. http://plugins.fed.wiki.org/

Here is a site that collects the about pages for all the plugins installed in the dojo. This includes a description of how I made this site in case wiki.cafe would like a similar site. http://plugins.dojo.fed.wiki/

In all of this documentation I use words that will be familiar to anyone who uses wiki regularly. First time users have asked for a glossary so I wrote one of these: Names of Things. http://glossary.asia.wiki.org/

How is one suppose to know about all of these sites? Well, they can look them up in a directory. http://sites.asia.wiki.org/

You may notice that there are several directories. Of course they are federated too. Wiki.cafe should host a directory of featured sites. This is the directory of directories with further instructions on how to participate. http://sites.asia.wiki.org/
