::No, that's wrong. Look at the MediaWiki user base - mostly at Wikipedia. These people do group management very very badly, they have very serious governance problems, there are always troll fights and "regime change" discussions and flame wars, and "pogroms" and "witchhunts" and "purges". They just don't know what they're doing, and on MeatballWiki and such you can find people complaining about how stupid the Wikipedia people are about how to do real world group management. They're always the worst example, e.g. of GodKing or just being a libel pit where anyone can lie about anyone else without any consequences. | ::No, that's wrong.

They'll collapse the day some guy with lawyers notices what they have allowed to be said about him. Like go look at the Page History of the article on Mel Gibson!!! And Mel sues, for real... he even sues CHURCHES... | ||
:: People who organize their own favourite project so stupidly can't be trusted to figure out what "requirements" exist for serious software! This is a very good reason to get away from MediaWiki and not to trust the people working on it. They are just not politically mature or even legally responsible. A project like Consumerium which is even more of a target can't possibly rely on software created by people who have such a poor idea of group support. | :: People who organize their own favourite project so stupidly can't be trusted to figure out what "requirements" exist for serious software!
