Maybe we should diversify the wiki
2 comments August 21st, 2006
Here at WikiSym 2006, I’ve had a chance to take a look at what is happening elsewhere in the wiki community. While there are still reasons to continue to work with our own wiki area for platform construction and research, it might be worthwhile to open up the idea of joining another wiki community with similar goals and moving our content efforts there.
On the pro side of leaving, we have benefits from less code to maintain here and greater exposure to ideas and usership. On the con side is the need to have another password and login (avoiding that was one of the big technical focuses this past summer), we wouldn’t control content or mission as a community, and traffic has one less reason to come here.
I’d be interested to hear from members about the pros and cons.
