A wikicircles wiki starts with one person who knows a hobby well enough to seed it and cares enough to tend it early on.

When it's ready the subdomain starts working and you're already its administrator — you can edit immediately, with no membership step and no email confirmation.

			Seeded with a starter skeleton, it's yours to shape: rewrite the front page, delete what doesn't fit, and start filling in what you know. You keep full editorial control.
