Interesting discussion of the whole WikiPedia concept
== Interesting discussion of the whole WikiPedia concept ==
Just ran across an interesting discussion of the whole WikiPedia concept started by an OpEd piece by one of its co-founders, Larry Sanger. Sanger's article and the ensuing discussion can be found [http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/12/30/142458/25 here].
Just ran across an :Yep, that's interesting discussion of . It's definitely worth thinking through these things a little bit. Regarding the whole WikiPedia concept started by concerns brought up in that article, I suspect we have an OpEd piece by one advantage in that, even if this site takes off wonderfully, we will still be a small community limited in scope, with recognizable "experts" in church life. I think also the sysops/moderators should have a broad enough knowledge of its co-foundersOrthodox matters to be able to tell if something is really off base. Also, Larry Sangerwe can be stricter in dealing with trolls (although that can certainly be a challenge on an open site like this one). SangerI's d love to hear more about your thoughts on this article with regard to OrthodoxWiki (and perhaps you'd want to login or otherwise identify yourself). Thanks, [[User:FrJohn|FrJohn]] 22:36, 20 Jan 2005 (CST) :: It occurs to me that, aside from what [[User:FrJohn|FrJohn]] says here (with which I thoroughly agree), the ensuing discussion can be found Orthodox Church is by its nature in some ways already prepared in terms of its [[http://wwwphronema]] to embark on a project like OrthodoxWiki.kuro5hin The whole Church is the guardian of the truth, after all, and we are essentially trying to submit ourselves to the public proclamation of the Gospel, not become researchers in obscure academic fields.org/story/2004/12/30/142458/25 here] Thus, while there are certainly things that are good for specialists and experts to work on for OrthodoxWiki, the real meat of our content is something that we should already in many ways have a consensus on.
:Yep, : The other thing that occurs to me is thatit's interesting. It's definitely worth thinking through these things a little bit. Regarding the concerns brought up in unlikely that article, I suspect we have an advantage in that, even if this site takes off wonderfully, we will still be a small community limited in scope, OrthodoxWiki would get infectected with recognizable "experts" in church lifeanti-elitism. I think also the sysops/moderators should have a broad enough knowledge of The Orthodox matters to be able to tell Church is something is really off base. Alsohierarchical, we can be stricter in dealing with trolls (although that can certainly be and respect and obedience toward authority are a challenge on an open site like this one)standard, normal part of our Church life.
