SUMMARY

Tricki is a newly launched project by mathematicians Tim Gowers and Terence Tao, designed as a Wiki-style database for problem-solving techniques rather than a traditional definition database. The platform aims to gather and share practical advice and tricks for tackling various problems. As a non-profit initiative, Tricki is currently in its start-up phase and seeks increased visitor engagement and contributions from the community. The potential for integration with existing forums, such as the PF community, has been suggested to enhance its visibility and utility.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Wiki-style content management systems
  • Basic understanding of problem-solving methodologies
  • Knowledge of community-driven platforms and their dynamics
  • Interest in mathematical problem-solving techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the features and contributions of Tricki at tricki.org
  • Research community engagement strategies for non-profit platforms
  • Investigate successful Wiki implementations in educational contexts
  • Learn about collaborative problem-solving techniques in mathematics
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for educators, mathematicians, and anyone interested in collaborative problem-solving methods, as well as those looking to contribute to or utilize community-driven resources like Tricki.

I found this whilst browsing Tim Gowers blog.

http://www.tricki.org/

Seems to be a project of Gowers, Tao and a couple of others and is just a week or two (?) old. The aim is for the site to act as a Wiki-style database of problem solving techniques/advice/tricks etc - rather than a database of definitions.

I am not affiliated with the site (regardless, it is non-profit) - but i consider it a concept with such potential that i thought to try and increase awareness of it. It's very much in the start-up phase and so the more visitors/contributors the better. I wonder; if the PF community/admins shares my enthusiasm for the concept and the site perhaps it could be integrated in some way? Or even just stickied somewhere on the forums.

Anyway - i hope it succeeds, and that PF members make us of it.

This is cool, I'd like to go through it once it has filled up some more.
