This is pretty cool. For all of you who enjoy the creative ventures of writing, design and/or science this might just be right up your alley. At Galaxiki.org, every star, every planet, every moon is represented by a wiki page that can be edited by members of this community. The users can make changes to star systems, they can add to planets giving them an elaborate ecosystem complete with lifeforms and write stories to give more detail. One of the main goals of the site seems to be collaboration, the idea being to require users to rely on each other to make sure their solar system histories and physical characteristics are compatible and can coexistent.There are also growing social networking features including star system ratings, comment options, bookmarks, user awards and status updates for users.
The site requires a membership signup but this is free. However, for those out there that want to create their own solar system that can't be tampered with (though that seems to be in defiance of what they are trying to create) there is an option to get your own personal system by making a donation to the site. The very idea of the site is to reply on everyone to create these fictional worlds.
I haven't really used the site myself just yet. I haven't had the time to sit down and actually give it a try., but I am very interested in doing so. I might do an update sometime in the future if I actually get involved.
