Wikis are the technical version of Bikeshedding.

  Trying to build grand unification schemes certainly is, I think. However, having active editors of sections with an incentive on people to contribute is good because it moves more info from closed spots to accessible spots. I’ve never found a good, sustainable way to get librarians and editors. When I’ve gotten it to be people’s jobs it ends up being people out of touch who aren’t able to edit in a meaningful way. So we’d get perfect spelling and grammar but statements like “ visual studio is the top programming environment so all programmers must use msdn” that’s an obviously insane statement since we have lots of non-MS devs, but the editor didn’t know that, left it, and caused lots of confusion.
