From the home page (http://www.metaweb.com/wiki/wiki.phtml):

“Introduction to the Metaweb by Neal Stephenson. Superficially, this site looks like a set of FAQs about a novel that I wrote entitled QUICKSILVER. As time goes on, we hope that it will develop into something a little more than that. We don’t know how it will come out. It’s an experiment.
Why put the information on such a complicated system, when a simple FAQ is easier? Because we are hoping that the annotations of the book on this site will seed a body of knowledge called the Metaweb, which will eventually be something more generally useful than a list of FAQs about one and only one novel. The idea of the Metaweb was originated by Danny Hillis.
We are currently working on 642 articles. See the community section at the bottom of this page to learn more.”
