Are we Headed for a Wiki World? 397
Wikipedian writes "BusinessWeek
asks are
we headed for a Wiki World?. With
US-based SocialText
using their wiki to leverage just $600K in capital, and
European competitor Team Notepad,
not to mention freeware alternatives like
TWiki and
MoinMoin
is the whole world going to be using
wikis
instead of the proprietary dinosaurs like
Lotus Notes?"

I will personally endorse this 'productivity' software for my company on one condition...
they give me the ability to anonymously moderate coworkers as trolls!

And that's why we're going to live in a Wiki World. Because collaboration is the solution to everything. Having lots of voices ensures diversity of opinion, which reminds me -- if you support this software project, don't forget to show it by voting for Dean in the primaries!
Which is precisely why Wikis will never catch on. Documentation, like code, was meant to be written and edited by small teams at best - too many cooks spoil the broth (But Dean was cool, so I'm leaving your endorsement in!). For instance, the last time I tried to learn something about a subject by using Wikis, I found they were as twisty as a mass of spaghetti in an Infocom game and John Kerry, and I read blogs!

Well, does 'wiki-wiki' sound like a Western word to you?
Think about it.

I mean, seriously, "easiest to set up and configure..." as long as you have a working Ruby install lying around. Yea, I want another language to deal with.
And isn't "object-oriented scripting language" an oxymoron??
