Wired's Wiki Future?

Chris Anderson on the potential for a more transparent Wired Magazine: "6) Wikifiy everything. The realities of publishing is that at some point you push the publish button. In the traditional world, that's the end of the story. It is a snapshot in time, as good as we could make it but inevitably imperfect. The errors (and all articles have them) are a mix of commission and omission--we hope for the best yet brace ourselves for the worst. But what if we published every story on a wiki platform, so they could evolve over time, just like Wikipedia itself? The original story would be the foundation of what could eventually become a version expanded and updated by readers... If you want to see the original version, just push the 'original' button, or see any changes in-between by looking at the version history." /longtail.com/
