It seems to me that the question of "To wiki or not to wiki" is a question FOR authors... It's not like school children get to say, "Hey, I don't like movable, printable text in my text books... Anyone with a printing press can fake this! Give me the same content, but engraved in gold platters, it carries a higher archival quality!"
