In contrast, if you have a wiki which is essentially a public document
open
to CRUD(CReate Update Delete) and discussion, it evolves over a period of
time. If you create two same topic Wiki's in two different places and they
have will probably have different members editing them(as a single person
will find it tedious to post the same thing in two places on regular
basis)
also what we write once is generally a spur of the moment thing - pretty
instinctive. Will we have same feelings and passion doing it yet for the
same document in another place? Probably not. If we forced ourselves to
try
as hard as possible to give the same content in the 2nd place as well it
would be a clear waste of time and energy.
A wiki has articles and each wiki can link to other wik's articles. So even
for the same topic there can have different articles.
Never the less it would be an interesting behavioral study(just as a study)
to have such a scenario, wherein you would have two Wiki's with would
evolve
(probabalistically) in a different(or similar) manners based on the
environment(user tempraments, events, incidents etc) around them. The Wiki
effectively becomes a barometer of the opinions and belief's of that
system(set of people).
This is a good point.
