I once took a good existing article on wikipedia that had gone through a
couple of generations, improved and added to it a bit and within an hour it
was completely blown away by some nitwit with zero respect for the work that
had gone before, and was *totally* rewritten with about 75% of the original
content blown away and what was left was much less educational and useful.
Granted you are warned by their FAQ that this can happen, but a community
like that cannot work if contributors can't assume some reasonable level of
collegiality. So I decided that if that is my first taste of how a wiki
community works, I want no part of it. And I've never contributed since.
To ask total strangers to contribute free content without some sense that it
is not an exercise in futility is insane.

Consider A Sharepoint Portal.
That is an option. The only problem is that I want a platform where it is
very very very VERY easy to change content. With sharepoint you always
have
the problem of registering, authentication, blabla. This is too much
time-consuming for most of us.
There is only one big issue: It is very easy to spam an open website like
this. But this also can be very succesful. Look at www.wikipedia.com. This
is an open encyclopedia and like www.dotnet4all.com it uses a wiki.
O...and did I mention that the most important criterium is that it has to
be
very very VERY easy to change the content. :)
