Why is WikiAnnotation important for Online Communities?
Isn't Wiki enough?
Wikis allow inline annotations with normal wiki page editing?
-- FridemarPache
Note: Don't confuse an AnnotationWiki with WikiAnnotation. An AnnotationWiki is a repository for annotations material, to be pasted into rich text/link annotation dialogues, whereas WikiAnnotation makes only wiki pages the targets of annotations. Of course an AnnotationWiki can be itself the target of some WikiAnnotation.
The above text is copy of the introtext of the author, which is placed on a WikiPage. As WikiPages are editable by anyone (, if not special restrictions apply), it makes sense, to freeze essential claims of the authors in annotations itself.
( At the same time, this is a test, if DiiGo annotations on a WikiPage are preserved. )
WikiCommonWealth
MeatballWiki | RecentChanges | Random Page | Indices | CategoriesCurrently a lot of activities goes behind the scenes to take profit of the giant non-monetary wealth, created in the wiki communities. If the wikizen don't wake up and don't take reponsibilities for themselves, we might see soon trademarks like WikiCommonWealth, created and used by people, not necessarily engaged in intrinsic wiki contributions themselves. Hopefully the author is in error, supposing this. Or what would be even worse, there might be domains registered by wikizen, who have not found the nurturing open wikis, where they can CreateAndShareWealth, straight from the beginning and not by speculations and just "sitting it out". Another pitfall in the view of the author would be the initiation of StayPoor wikis, where only ideas of a Social Common Wealth are discussed, but where the wikizens themselves are only playing the role of zero cost workers.
If you search for Google:CommonWealth and Google:Wiki you get an exorbitant list of hits. Therefore some algorithm might have registered the domain: Google:WikiCommonWealth, because it is on the crossroads, where business promises to prosper. Pursuing the vision of a SocialCommonWealth, the author now registered WikiCommonWealth.info and *.biz to save, what can be be saved for wikizen, who want to collaborate in an Google:OpenBusinessWiki and not as invisible speculators.
Discussion The author puts this contribution in his blog, where additional cues can be found, to invite peers, to join the movement. -- [fridemar]
