Sam Ruby’s eTech preso on launching a wiki to discuss Pie/Echo/Atom development and generating over 1 ,000 pages of notes, discussion, and, yes, arguments.
A parable for the open source world many of us try to live in.
Some quotes:
” On a wiki, emotionally charged words tend to be quickly replaced with ones that more effectively make the point that is trying to be made without the distracting histrionics.
” The people you most want to contribute have the least amount of time to do so.
