Prescriptive collaboration is an oxymoron.
This is a total load of bollocks. There is nothing remotely wrong with
prescribing guidelines for collaboration, with setting up frameworks
for colloboration or with specifying what the priorities for
collaborations are.
A WikiProject is a "prescriptive collaboration".
A "collaboration of the week" is by definition a prescripitive collaboration.
Even a backlog of maintenance tasks is effectively the same thing.
What's with all this baseless negativity towards a very workable,
useful suggestion?
