What is Wiki-Indonesian-Art?
Wiki-Indonesian Art is a `open online Indonesian-Art encyclopedia`.
Open: Everyone can contribute, if something is wrong or something is missing in the information, everyone can adjust, supplement or change it. More information about this can be found on the help page.
Online: It is a site that is freely accessible, so everyone can look at it, get information and benefit from it.
Indonesian-Art: This is only about indonesian art like wood-, bone- and stone-carvings, paintings, puppets, batik, kris/keris and other indonesian items in which there is a lot to discover. Wiki-Indonesian-Art is inspired by the successful Wikipedia, which is now available in many languages and consists of many thousands of articles. Wiki-Indonesian-Art is therefore a 'Wiki'.

Goal
The starting point of Wiki-Indonesian-Art has been the lack of a central place of Indonesian-Art knowledge. Each collector has his own qualities and his own knowledge. One person knows a lot about something, the other less or not at all. What if we could combine this into something positive and effective? This was also the starting point of Wikipedia, the bundling of knowledge so that everyone can benefit from it.

Built up
Wiki-Indonesian-Art started as a repository of all kinds of information about Indonesian-Art, so the plan was to first give it a filling before we would really publicize it in the Indonesian-Art world. Hopefully Wiki-Indonesian-Art will be frequently visited by people with a lot of Wiki experience and the content will be gradually being structured. It will be very handy to be able to organize everything properly and to make it easily searchable. A limited number of main categories are therefore being worked on for the various Indonesian-Art items.

Each article is divided into certain categories so that it is easy to find, so articles can be in multiple categories. For example, a name might fall under Statues, Paintings, Puppets, Batik, or Other items.

Wiki-Indonesian-Art.com is an initiative of collectors and is made possible by all users.
