This workspace is for drafting a chapter on wikis for Open Sources II (See Also: Open Sources I). Anyone invited into this workspace can contribute and be recognized as a contributor within the text. However, I cannot guarantee that contributors will be listed on the cover or table of contents or formal by-line.
Contribution
Self-select where you want to contribute. But lets use these conventions:
- When you start contributing, list your name on Contributors
- Edit content with the purpose of having your contribution remain, but you do not need to sign contributions
- For conversation to comments at the bottom of pages
- Keep sections as seperate pages
- Help maintain the Table of Contents (TOC) below and in the sidebar, feel free to re-order
- Draft new sections at the bottom of this page or link to them from below, add to the TOC when you want others to jump in
- First draft deadline is Christmas, but seeking an extension on the merit that editors can play a role in drafting with us
Abstract
T his chapter provide an introduction to wikis and how they bring open source practices to non-programmers. It examines the nature an unique properties of this relatively simple tool and how they imply new practices for organization. It concludes with a far-reaching supposition that if open source practices can reach enough people we may have reached the end of market failure within liberal capitalism, a mark of the end of history.
