3d17.org: Another stab at communal editing
Posted by Clay Shirky
Ian Clarke, of freenet fame, has lauched
3D17.org, a Web-based tool for creating communal documents. 3D17 _isn't_ a wiki. Though most of the documents up now are tests, it's already clear that 3D17 differs from wiki logic in 3 ways:
- requires login (though some wikis have added this function through the web server)
- revisions are only _proposed_ by subsequent users, preserving a formal distinction between authorship and emendation
- revisions are only made to the original after a vote, and only the top voted revision in any group of proposed revisions is accepted
Its too early to tell anything from adoption or use patterns, but it will be worth watching.

It's worth watching just to see if people start calling it "edit" -- is 1337sp34k that prevalent?
