Good food for thought and hopefully an inspiration for people to build on.
The wiki movement has stagnated for a long time. Some reasons are internal e.g., overpromising on semantic technologies and never really delivering a step change in functionality that will delight people the way the original wikis did.
But most of the reasons for the wiki no-show are external, driven by the dominant economics of the modern digital experience which despite the optimistic early book with the same title, is not Wikinomics.
Yet the cognitive stress from information overload is not getting less. If we ever manage to get away from the user-as-product paradigm the design and function of wikis will be a key ingredient for the next digital revolution.
