→Interesting discussion of the whole WikiPedia concept: typo
:: It occurs to me that, aside from what [[User:FrJohn|FrJohn]] says here (with which I thoroughly agree), the Orthodox Church is by its nature in some ways already prepared in terms of its [[phronema]] to embark on a project like OrthodoxWiki. 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. 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.
:: The other thing that occurs to me is that it's unlikely that OrthodoxWiki would get infectected infected with anti-elitism. The Orthodox Church is hierarchical, and respect and obedience toward authority are a standard, normal part of our Church life. --[[User:ASDamick|Rdr. Andrew]] 06:13, 21 Jan 2005 (CST)
:One problem with relying on "experts" is our experts are often already wearing too many hats. Some who qualify for that title have already participated and I hope, especially with time, many more will. Of course, the rest of us can happily draw from "experts" in our articles. I think it's great that anyone can contribute. And sometimes, folks who are not "experts" have a great deal more time to delve into the specifics or something, and the rest of us can benefit from that work and knowledge.
