I really didn't mean the quality of the information, this can be shown to be a social phenomena. What I think this illustrates is the quality/value of the wiki medium itself. I remember a lot of issues from my philosophy courses about wikipedia, the tutors seemed to think that the content of an article would change from day to day, one day taking one angle, the next being rewritten to another. I guess why I like this study is it shows the clear continuity of the information. Even though it is in constant flow. (hmmm....I wonder if there are computable threshold values? i.e. the age of an article, number of views/edits/users etc.) I take your point, I did mean _wikipedia_ as there is no doubt that an in house wiki is a very good way of content management. But there are a lot of preconceived prejudices about open wiki's among the less well informed. I'm preaching to the converted here on HN, but then I thought people would appreciate the pretty colours =D
