Large Scale Collaborative Editing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday October 30, 2003 @07:39AM from the now-this-is-gettign-interesting dept.

An anonymous reader writes "3D17.org is a website designed to allow large-scale collaborative document editing. Unlike tools like Wiki, any changes made to a 3D17 document must go-through a moderation-like voting process to see which should be applied to the document. Possible applications include allowing a large community to draft letters, emails, and faxes in a way that everyone can contribute. 3D17 even eats its own dogfood - its FAQ can be user-modified just like any other document."

  Nothing like h4x0r-5p34k in the org name to give that little bost of credibility and air of professionalism required to get ahead in this troubled economy!

Could this be used on /. to fix spelling mistakes and other obvious errors? :)

  No, for that you'd need a spelling checker, which is beyond our puny 2003 tech. It's the stuff of madmen's dreams.
  
  Same goes for dupes. Just too hard to fix. Well, apart from going a quick keyword search on the new headline and all the headlines from the last 3 weeks.

  Does the committee get to correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar?

  Uh oh, am I part of your committee now? Or are you a part of mine? Er, or were you just shortcutting to an example of their possible output?

The irony of having to scroll through so much tripe before reaching this post should not be lost on anyone....

Obviously you've never actually tried to use Slashdot's search feature to find anything...
You can be fairly certain that whatever it returns is not what you are actually seeking.
There's nothing quick about searching Slashdot.

Ok, this could very easily backfire when exposed to "Concentrated" (for lack of a better word) groups like slashdot. No longer would you need mirrors because the article is unavailable, you would now need mirrors because the article in unrecognisable in its current form.
It's title is now: "In Soviet Russia your new slashdot overlords welcome YOU!"

There i've gotten all the jokes out of my system, and still posted something at least vaugely insightful! go me!

p.s. does using "woot" make me sound old and dated like my parents trying to sound "hip" or does it still have some life left?
