MeatballWiki is a wiki dedicated to online communities, culture and hypermedia. Its original goal was to focus on collaborative hypermedia, but current topics range from intellectual property to cyberpunk to the confusion of URIs. MeatballWiki also hosts various project journals; in particular, it has influenced much of the design of UseModWiki. Meatball wiki uses UseModWiki developed by Clifford Adams.
Because of its role as a community about communities, it has become the launching point for various other wiki-based projects, and a central resource for the wider wiki community. For example, MeatballWiki is the "Grand Central Station" of a wiki tour bus system. While its aims do not explicitly include becoming a centre of this community, the content it produces is well-suited to use as reference materials elsewhere.
One of the key concepts on MeatballWiki is "barn raising". Sunir Shah created the first internet barnstar award there.
