Thread:Ownership, status, granularity and category (1)

The biggest differences between Wikipedia and WikiEducator are the ideas of ownership, status and granularity


 * Wikipedia - articles are units, the creator expects others to add and change the content, pretty much any content in an article is useful even as a placeholder. The fundamental premise is that casual collaboration is essential. Some administration is required to make sure the whole is consistent and "ownerless"


 * WikiEducator - pages may be standalone or part of a complex hierarchy, the creator has two types of content - sandbox for personal use, or educational resources (course outlines, lessons, commentary, discussions, projects, resources) in development, in use or abandoned. Casual collaboration might cause problems. The creator wants/needs to retain ownership and control.

I think this has implications for Categories - who decides, who assigns, who "fixes"
