Before this discussion strays too far off-topic, I think it would be good to go back to the source. The original post cited page 122 of the January 2006 issue of Curator (49 / 1). I believe this is the passage: "The channel [MTV] recignizes that it is in dialogue with its viewers; they form the brand together. The Brooklyn Museum of Art realized the same thing. Along with the usual anonymnous labels written by curators, its 'American Voices' installation also offers Community Voices labels written by ordinary museumgoers. The National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC went a step further. Staff not only worked with 'community curators,' but also identified the author of each label, effectively undermining the idea of a single, authoritative version of truth and promoting a more inclusive, provisional one." (Jason Petrulis, reivew of the books "Branded Nation: The Marketing of Megachurch, College Inc. and Museumworld" by James B. Twitchell, and "No Logo" by Naomi Klein) So, just to be clear, from the very beginning we have been discussing museum-visitor collaborations. The initial post may not have stated this explicitly, but since it did give the citation, there was probably little need for it to do so. PS -- I thought the whole point of wikis was that they *didn't* have large editorial boards? I could be mistaken.
