Wikis aren’t the answer to everything, but I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the medium over the last year. More important than the techical functionality and the user-challenging interfaces is the philosophy. It speaks very much to a culture of trust and responsibility for others, a strong counterpoint to the culture of fear we live in these days.
Someday, maybe I’ll have similar enjoyment looking at “porch stoop security” that relies on community involvement and knowledge rather than engineered, top-down solutions. It’s liberating to think that way.
