I'm teaching a special session of my spring cyberlaw class later
this afternoon with Jimbo Wales, founder of the [1]wikipedia. In
the spirit of a wiki, please feel free to tune in. There will also
be an opportunity to submit questions and comments remotely. The
class is today, Monday, April 25, 2005, from 4:30-6:30 EST. Webcast
and participation tool [2][here].
I imagine much of the session will be focused on the sustainability
of a completely open content-generation model; the use of quasi-law
to moderate users' submissions, especially as more and more people
seek to influence the Wiki's content for reasons other than
refining a "neutral point of view" on useful facts; and the
implications of the Wikipedia's apparent success for other forms of
content generation.
