Hi Liste, *Werbung*

wir editieren gerade zu dritt an dem Wiki für deutsche Regeln rum, das 
ist mir zu wenig. Ich fände es toll, wenn sich noch ein paar mehr Leute 
beteiligen würden! Schaut doch mal rein:

Und beschränkt Euch nicht auf's reinschauen ... das ist ein Wiki!

Why Wiki Works
--------------
Any information can be changed or deleted by anyone. Wiki pages 
represent consensus because it's much easier to delete flames and spam 
than indulge them. What remains is naturally meaningful.

Anyone can play. This sounds like a recipe for low signal - Wiki gets 
hit by the great unwashed as often as any other site - but to make an 
impact on Wiki, you need to generate real content. Anything else will be 
removed. So anyone can play, but only good players last.

Wiki is not WysiWyg. It's an intelligence test of sorts to be able to 
edit a wiki page. It's not rocket science, but it doesn't appeal to the 
VideoAddicts. If it doesn't appeal, they don't participate, which leaves 
the rest of us to get on with rational discourse.

Wiki doesn't work in real time. People take time to think, sometimes 
days or weeks, before they follow up some edit. So what people write is 
generally well-considered.

Wikizens are by nature a pedantic, ornery, and unreasonable bunch. So 
there's a camaraderie and understanding here we seldom see outside of 
our professional contacts.

So that's it - insecure, indiscriminate, user-hostile, slow, and stocked 
with difficult, nit-picking people. Any other online community would 
count each of these as a terrible flaw. Perhaps wiki works because the 
other online communities don't.
