your points are all so very, very true!
yet these are points that has been made quite a few times on
the
liblicense list -- as well as at innumerable other sites,
and in
a wide variety of formats.
it almost seems as if no one follows the wiki thread even
one or
two steps back, never mind incorporating the points that
have
been made (hashed and re-hashed), before posting a
consummately
elegant response on web4lib.
the issue for me becomes: how could we then proceed with an
organized discussion of the wikipedia phenomenon, and all of
the
interesting questions and responses that pertain to it, in a
fashion that brings new information to the table, and moves
the
discussion forward in productive, possibly creative way?
would a wiki, or a blog, be an appropriate forum for
extending
this discussion among information organization professionals
and
students aspiring to the profession?
