working full time working on Wikimedia from the Wikimedia offices, as is
Terry Foote half time, so office expenses are now being budgeted for.
So much in the moment to the
"democratic" model getting to its edges.

(As many readers of the lists have at
least Ph.D. degrees, I find it quite funny to be called "the
doctor". I am no medical doctor. The degree in some countries in
Europe becomes part of the name.)

How ironic that the doctor insisting on the
need for educated authority is,
in fact, mistaken about the two issues he
argues. :-)
No one in this thread has suggested that
museums surrender all control over
content, merely that they collaborate with
visitors. The thread was inspired
by a journal article which discussed
collaboration, not surrender. I
believe we all agree with Dr. Muller-Straten on
this point, and can put this
particular debate to rest.
As for wikis, Jeremy is correct. ANYBODY
can write an article, and there
are NO paid editors. This is not a
"fairy tale;" it is fact. Some simple
research (such as reading the links Jeremy
provided, or joining a wiki) will
demonstrate this.
