Sounds like Mitchel got distracted. I get it, internal company wiki entropy is a hard problem.

  > I don't work directly on most of those projects anymore. I was CEO for ~4 years, CTO for ~5 years, and then transitioned to being an individual contributor. I think it's his job now to get distracted. :) Though I see no reason from this post to think Hermes is one of Mitchell's projects. https://mitchellh.com/ https://mitchellh.com/

  Every 24 months make the existing wiki read only, make a new (different / incompatible) wiki and make users copy what they want to the new one. After 2 epochs make the legacy^2 wiki available only upon request that is active only for a week at a time.

    Sounds like an experiment worth trying. Have you? Also, it sounds these ideas have been learned from many painful lessons? IMO, document management's root problem can be well understood with behavioral economics: a nice library is a public good. Maintaining it is costly. More people need this to sink in. So, with this realization, we should design accordingly, with _all_ necessary organizational and behavioral levers in place. This is what social software means to me. ^
