The project has already been forked, by Jimmy Wales himself, by starting a counterpoint editorial. Making room for different viewpoints may stave off edit wars.
But the real issue is Terms and Conditions inherited from print.
Heterarchies represent a new logic of organizing that is neither market nor hierarchy: whereas hierarchies involve relations of dependence and markets involve relations of independence, heterarchies involve relations of interdependence. As the term suggests, heterarchies are characterized by minimal hierarchy and by organizational heterogeneity, a pair of concepts elaborated below.
By firewall, it means use of social software inside the organization.
Agile works when you are local timezones. Far-flung teams can be more productive than co-located groups. Which would you rather do, share a monitor or VNC?
Stretching across timezones has led offshore development to develop rich competencies in more traditional software project management. When outsourcing you can't embrace change, you have to specify against it, and contracted companies then focus on Taylorist execution.
I'd suggest that developing competence in agile methodologies is the greatest advantage US teams can gain in light of offshoring. But that does not mean the team has to be in one place.
I use a wiki as a workspace. What's better than a to-do-list that's shared?
Gets things crossed off quicker by having it visible, and sometimes with people do things for you.
Before we could learn to pronounce it, it was shut down.
It's not that the servers are melting with the rapid rise to ~3 million page views or 500th most popular site in a couple of days. It's not a conspiracy of data collection or a learning curve.
orkut, which should really be named Oogle, demonstrated that a high performance explicit social networking site, well designed for digital immeadiate gratification (one local engineer personally even complained they had to click from map to profile to add a friend), supported by brand and with the right root can unleash latent demand. I would say this is reflective of the dearth of social capital in our society, but aside from such heady stuff, frictionless whuffie fun, huh? Latent demand for what is the question.
Internet researchers would die excruciating deaths in search of the last days of data. I would venture a guess that most of the digerati that was already pre-conditions by existing services, an incomprehensible demographic that grants hypergrowth to the best, grants the best feedback, but easily taketh away.
okurt doesn't work because it lacks constraints. Nothing hold people back. Nobody knows what a friend means. No social capital on the line. Its so fun and easy, choices and incentives are irrational.
Normally this would raise questions. Some constraints make good social compact. Some constraints on openness curb pollution (spam, security). One of the better constraints is price because it lead to profit.
However, AdSense is relatively frictionless. It adds new constraints while adding value. Same could be said for other well targeted forms of content, like blog posts...
Oh, please.
* Wrong metric, this one actually supports growth in the valley
* You can't throw people at every problem
* The valley is as much about marketing as it is engineering, a retained competency no other cluster can and will match
