It is amazing to me that Wikipedia works so well -- that all hell doesn't break loose. Wikis rely on the inherent goodness of people. If wikis had been around in the 1700s, they would have been a tool of the Enlightenment with its beliefs that humans are basically good and that reason can solve most problems. I think Voltaire would have been big into wikis. And the Founding Fathers -- particularly Jefferson.
