I don't see how this is anti-Wikipedia. But I suppose conflict sells, so linkbait (to be clear, linkbait on the part of Wired, not the submitter) titles like these are inevitable.
Also, for a lot of people, 'wiki' is simply short for 'Wikipedia'. That's unlikely to change at this point. I don't know what Ward can do to make a Federated Wiki (great name, BTW) achieve any kind of success with that kind of barrier.
- klint 14y agoI'm the author of the article, and I can see why people got confused. I don't think Max Ogden was implying that it's a bad thing that you have to give up your view point on Wikipedia - and Ward Cunngingham definitely didn't imply that in my conversation with him. I regret that readers thought that. I don't think either Ogden or Cunningham are expecting this to replace Wikipedia, but they are hoping that it will be useful for other wikis.
