finiki:About
finiki, the Canadian financial wiki is a knowledge base of financial subjects written from a Canadian point of view. It is a collaborative work that is primarily based on knowledge built up in the discussion forum, and is presented in an easy-to-navigate and searchable format. It operates in conjunction with the Financial Wisdom Forum (FWF) discussion forum. The mission is to provide access to Canadian financial topics for individuals who wish to educate themselves.
In case you are wondering about the name, it derives from financial and wiki.
Investors wishing to discuss their financial situation should seek a financial advisor or post on the Financial Wisdom Forum.

History
Here's the launch announcement:[1]
Welcome to finiki - The Do-It-Yourself Financial Webring Wiki. As this forum has grown larger and more complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to find authoritative information. There has been some consolidation of similar type threads into single threads but that just leads to huge threads. Because of the chatty nature of forums, threads contain huge numbers of off-topic posts which make mining for gold difficult. Hence the launch of finiki.

Suffice it to say that finiki is Wikipedia on a very small scale focused on Canadian finance.— The Management, February 14, 2009
