Talk:Collaborative writing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I would like to spin off the concept of tandem writing from this collaborative writing article. Fiction that is written in a MU* environment or through reciprocal e-mail exchanges (as in alt.starfleet.rpg) has the notion of collaboration and recursivity, but it is more appropriately called "tandem" because the conjunction of work occurs in series rather than in parallel (like in a wiki). Thoughts? –DeweyQ 23:05, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding Section 1 (Evolution)
I think that the section is too much "based on" Microsoft applications (Microsoft SharePoint, etc.), and (this might only be my viewpoint - replies, please...) I think that it is not totally correct and is also missing quite some detail.
I did not want to edit this without peer review of my idea. Thanks in advance for replies...

- I suggest the following changes:
- Replace the explicit item numbers with # characters, so the list items number automatically (see: List basics). It seems non-Wiki to have an explicitly numbered list.
- Move the parenthesized vendor-specific examples to nested bullet items by placing them after #* characters. Listing products from more than one vendor would yield the desired vendor-neutrality. If possible, replace the vendor-specific examples with links to Wikipedia articles that list many example.
- Link all the jargon terms to their Wikipedia articles, if any.
- Generalize some jargon terms (e.g., replace "disk" with removable media).
- And of course remove the stray 6 character that appears to be an editing error.
- How about something like this:
- Exchanging file via removable media (sneakernet) or email
- Shared file server
- Revision control software providing check-in/out
- Portal applications
- Wikis
- My cursory check did not find a list of portal applications, so I kept the Microsoft example, but at least we can link to its article. — Teratornis 12:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

- No one replied, so I went ahead and updated the Evolution section. — Teratornis 12:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
