Why did we start using Wiki organisation as a precursor to Peer-based Organisation?

Collaboration and reuse

  • The Wikipedia connection
  • A large community dedicated to collaborative content creation
  • A model for organic design? Wikimedia ;&rarr: Mediawiki ;&rarr: Wikipedia

Standout features

  • Red Links
  • Recent changes
  • Discussion
  • History
  • Every page has a web address

What's missing

  • Applicational aspects
  • The naming problem
  • It is client-server

Despite all of this, Mediawiki, with the improvements added in the form of XmlWiki, proved to be a good enough development environment to begin working on the Peer itself and for us to learn to structure workspaces, in order to prepare content and applicational templates which can easily be ported to the Peer once it is functional.
