Further, that crap is exactly what draws people in.
Back before anybody
had heard of Wikipedia, I was persuading my clients to use wikis as
intranets. My number one trick for getting involvement was putting in
mistakes: typos, formatting errors, and obvious omissions of
information. Nobody would touch a finished-looking page. But give them
something they could fix *right now* and they were hooked.
I'm *sure* we used to have a page recommending that, somewhere. Always
be sure to leave something unfinished...
(There is one word which appears in about a third of the new articles
I write. I can't spell it. It is always a source of delight to me just
how fast someone will come by and fix it...)
