Did Ward Cunningham lose his mind.. c2 wiki is gone

Name: Anonymous 2015-09-12 23:48

The c2 wiki used to be a great place to find out controversial information on programming. It was like a intelligent bottom up web forum where people created the content without it turning into thread mode discussion - each page was like a wikipedia page that anyone could edit (though this means it had its faults too). Now Ward Cunningham has shut off the edit feature on the c2 wiki and come up with some bizarre crackpot idea of everyone having their own wiki web servers instead of it all being located on the c2 central wiki... is this sort of like free market wiki instead of centralized socialist wiki? His new wiki system seems to fragment the community and demand something virtually impossible: everyone has their own wiki server. What's the point? Don't fix what ain't broke. The c2 wiki worked fine, even with all its flaws...

The new wiki is called federated wiki (strange name for a wiki... sounds like... russian federation...)

"Leave Cunningham alone"

"I'm just another guy on the internet disliking something new (if we had a penny for each one eh). I'm not trying to mindlessly bash the guy work. The idea/implementation is not bad per se, but I felt it didn't play nice with the wiki concept."

And that makes me very happy. SAoVQ was filled with non-programming japanese cartoon garbage. c2 is actually about programming. It brings me peace to know that this offends you.
