Certainly - I've even read the book I co-authored which mentions this
fact. The point I was trying to make is more like "if you bolt a
community like a wiki onto Nupedia-like processes, you can expect a sort
of social sclerosis which is not unlike a generic online community that
works but with a rigidity about its hierarchy". Which turns a more
standard MeatballWiki analysis like
http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/CommunityMayNotScale on its head, actually.
