The wiki lesson: the power of collaboration
While Wikipedia is the best-known wiki, it is incorrect to say that all wikis are encyclopedias. Wikis represent distributed decentralized collaborations, allowing virtually anyone to virtually contribute. The project may be an encyclopedia; niche community center; an office task; a conference; a class; a Second Life -- or even an article, such as this one. Despite the issues that arise -- or because of them -- wikis are remaking the world. But the idea itself is not so novel. Indeed, wisdom older than America's Founding Fathers best describes the power of wiki-facilitated collaboration: e pluribus unum -- out of many, one.
