I'm proud to announce that I'm an uncle again! Baby Dymond was born yesterday around 5.00am, and he and mother are both doing well!

In other news, I'm considering using the wiki concept to generate expert knowledge bases within specific domains. I'm curious as to whether the wiki concept will work if sufficient constraints are placed upon publishing.

Like all things, I guess that there is an optimal compromise between freedom and constraint that will produce the best documentation. There's a study in this: if anyone knows of any work done like this already, I'd be greatful to hear about it. NB - non-blind opinions by encyclopaedia editors won't suffice: I need opinions based on blind assessment by domain experts.
