We consider storing the pages of a wiki in a tuple space and the effects this
might have on the wiki experience. In particular, wiki pages are stored in
tuples with a few identifying values such as title, author, revision date,
content, etc. and pages are retrieved by sending the tuple space templates,
such as one that gives the title but nothing else, leaving the tuple space to
resolve to a single tuple. We use a tuple space wiki to avoid deadlocks,
infinite loops, and wasted efforts when page edit contention arises and examine
how a tuple space wiki changes the wiki experience.Comment: To appear at WMSCI 200
