RE: Wikipedia?

[Marion Sumerianlibrarian <marionsumerianlibrarian@yahoo.com>]

your points are all so very, very true!

yet these are points that has been made quite a few times on the 
liblicense list -- as well as at innumerable other sites, and in 
a wide variety of formats.

it almost seems as if no one follows the wiki thread even one or 
two steps back, never mind incorporating the points that have 
been made (hashed and re-hashed), before posting a consummately 
elegant response on web4lib.

the issue for me becomes: how could we then proceed with an 
organized discussion of the wikipedia phenomenon, and all of the 
interesting questions and responses that pertain to it, in a 
fashion that brings new information to the table, and moves the 
discussion forward in productive, possibly creative way?

would a wiki, or a blog, be an appropriate forum for extending 
this discussion among information organization professionals and 
students aspiring to the profession?
