Indeed. Some basic social-software features that let

themselves and set up networks of friends and project-collaborators,

on a project like Wikipedia, just as the social aspects of wiki come
to have a real purpose beyond social experimenting and
procrastination.
Perhaps we could setup a section of the site where each user could
write about themselves, perhaps their hobbies or profession, maybe
even include a picture... In this space they could create subpages,
and hyperlinks going to other users they know or work with.. the
ability to socially network.. areas for discussing various special
interests, information about projects they are working on.... Hmmmmm..
Nah, it would never work. ;)
