"So far, the experiment is pretty chaotic with edits coming at a fast and furious pace."
But, Ernie, let's see what evolves. I think that the cluster idea looks promising. Also remember that people are engaged with, of all things, the editorial page. If their new fixation means more page views and advertising sales, that isn't necessarily a bad thing--whatever the results. Bloggers feed on dino-created content, too, not just posts from other bloggers. So I'm not rooting for the L.A. Times to fold.
While I've often gone after the dinos, it's great to see one of them experimenting with something new. I still remember the outrageous deck that the L.A. Times published on e-books--not just from Michael Gorman but also from someone likeminded in various ways. If the wiki idea had been around at the Times and applied to columns, too, not just editorials, I'd have gone through both columns and deleted every "not"--while inserting others.
No matter what your personal opinions on wikitorials, I'm glad to read them. And I know you'll keep an open mind. Maybe an editorial-page earthquake happened in Southern Cal this week, not just the kind that shook the earth.
