Dispersive PDE Wiki
The Dispersive PDE Wiki is a wiki concerned with the mathematical theory of well-posedness of various non-linear dispersive and wave equations. The articles at the web site presuppose a background that is only likely to be found among mathematics graduate students, and may not be generally understandable to physicists, though physical issues underlie the whole problem area. The site includes about a thousand citations, mostly to mainstream mathematics journals. There appear to be fifty active contributors. The content of the site can be viewed by anyone. If you wish to create an account, you can do so using the same process as on Wikipedia. There is no moderation, but anonymous contributors are not allowed. Although this topic represents a fairly narrow specialty, in December 2006 it was in fact the number one Google hit for 'dispersive PDE'.
The Dispersive PDE wiki also functions as an emerging survey of topics at the mathematical research frontier on nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations. Another mathematical wiki is the knot atlas Archived 2008-07-05 at the Wayback Machine which surveys the theory of knots.
A contributor to the dispersive wiki is Fields Medalist Terence Tao. The wiki runs MediaWiki, and its content is licensed under the GFDL.
The content on the dispersive wiki derives from an earlier html-based site [1] on the same topic maintained by J. Colliander, M. Keel, G. Staffilani, H. Takaoka, and T. Tao. That site was started in October 2000, and in July 2006, it was converted into a MediaWiki site.
