== Is wikipedia going to be limited to just a knowledge base? a big networked reference tome? ==

I am a casual visitor to wikipedia, but somehow it seems there is 
something lacking in wikipedia. Ok, its an encyclopaedia, right?
but is knowledge all we need? where is the room for creativity?

Wiki offers interactivity! rapid communication of ideas,
collaboration at a reasonable speed...so whats my build up here?

How does one express his ideas in Wiki, ideas soon to become
applications in science (can i get a random peer review, ofcourse at my own risk), in sociology, politics (wow can i campaign?), market survey (can i dare to start this venture?).
Well yes, there is no ownership conferred by Wiki to the idea, but that is at the
convenience of the person who is expressing it. The "ideas"
can be anything. Well to be short, i want links where i just
dont find existing knowledge base, but ideas leading to future.

Think, Share, Make and Evolve!


Yuvvaiva!

:The slightly longer answer is simply to say that [[Wikipedia]] is only one of many sites using the [[wiki]] concept, and a Free Encyclopedia is the use we're putting it to here. Off the top of my head, I know that [[MeatBall]] is keen to generate knowledge about online communities, and the original wiki at the [[Portland Pattern Repository]] was set up to foster ideas in computer programming.  You might also find some useful links by browsing through [[MeatBall:WikiCommunityList]]. - [[User:IMSoP|IMSoP]] 22:14, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
