A lovely article. The only pity is it doesn't note how much of this social theory of wikis owes to Sunir Shah's pioneering work on MeatballWiki.
MeatballWiki is all but unknown to most Wikipedians, let alone the outside world. That's not good. I recommend it to all here.
For example (just to give a starting point; then you won't be able to stop reading this wiki!), on the wiki/city subject, see these five years old pages: http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?OnlineCommunitiesAreCityStates http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?WikisAsVillages
And, since we talk over FlaggedRevisions, this is topical: http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?WikiLifeCycle http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?GatedCommunity http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?LimitGrowth
