- security issues (3I2T)
- open, but who can see what (3I2U)
- contrary view: "open" here seems to be contingent on a gatekeeper (administrator, moderator, someone with externally-granted authorty) grants access permissions. That's not very open. A very open system is one that has no gatekeepers. (3I3A)
- detect on-line fraud (3I2V)
- overall trust issues - prerequisite (3I2W)
- cost (3I2Y)
- technology getting better and cheaper (3I2Z)
- poor at evaluating new technologies (3I30)
- no one using a wiki (3I31)
- contrary view: the English wikipedia has many thousands of people who are active editors. (3I3B)
- expertise, volume of information - filter and guiding people through the spaces (3I32)
- contrary view: on Wikipedia the convention is that everyone involved assumes a pseudonyn and does not reveal their other identity/identities. If filtering and guiding (again, gatekeeper functions) are necessary, then why is Wikipedia so phenomenally successful? And why is much of it of such high quality? (3I3C)
- phishing? authenticity of site? (3I33)
- Could the space support light-weight finding of people willing to share on a topic? (3I3D)
- ideal employee view (3I3E)
- contrary view: "employee" being underlings? I see wikis + appropriate user culture (this is essential) as the current ideal mechanism to convert a business's tacit knowledge assets into explicit knowledge. Inspection of page histories not only identifes who knows what about the business, but also what they know...and don't know. (3I3G)
