Interview with Ward Cunningham - inventor of the first wiki

Wiki - positive aspects

  • anyone can become an editor
  • all content is public
  • revision system: keeps track of each edit
  • enforces semantic structure. Making possible converting wiki pages to other formats: HTML, EPUB, ICML, etc
  • API can request wiki pages's content and metadata programmatically

Wiki - down sides

  • a flat space, made only of pages and users
    • how to organize a publication in this space
    • what structures to adopt?
    • how to organize a workflow of authors, editors and proofreaders ?
  • messy and difficult to read.
    • necessity for alternative reading spaces
