ABSTRACT
Online resources known as wikis are commonly used for collection and distribution of information. We present a software implementation that assists wiki contributors with the task of keeping a wiki current. Our demonstration, built using English Wikipedia, enables wiki contributors to subscribe to sources of news, based on which it makes intelligent recommendations for pages within Wikipedia where the new content should be added. This tool is also potentially useful for helping new Wikipedia editors find material to contribute.
