Submission + - Mailing list on online knowledge communities (citizendium.org)
Larry Sanger writes: "SharedKnowing will be an old-fashioned, well-reasoned, polite discussion list, devoted to the nature of online knowledge production communities. It will be Internet theory (not so much discussion of news, like Slashdot)...for everybody. Sample topics: What exactly is an Internet community, anyway? What is the proper role, if any, of experts in collaborative knowledge communities? How, in general, should disputes be managed in online communities? To what extent do traditional theories or models of government, such as democracy, republicanism, aristocracy, etc., apply to online communities?"
