NeuroWiki is yet another example of how wikis are transforming how humans collaborate and share information. Wikis are being used for everything, including: music, gmail, business and education.
While wikipedia is perhaps the best public example of their potential, many don't find them user friendly enough. But as Socialtext's Adina Levin shares, "wikis confuse people because they are designed to be revised."
At the end of the day, the important component to the success of any wiki is "gardening". Just like leaf cutter ants must tend to their coevolving fungi gardens in order to survive, humans need to prune our information gardens. In the case of neurowiki, I would advise an ox-drawn plow or two. Remember, there is a fungus among us.
