The Beeb's Pete Clifton on the Los Angele's Times' great wikitorial experiment.

An excerpt:

I  for one hope it soon has a new lease of life and springs back into action. The experiment was far from perfect - planting a "wiki" approach on to an LA Times editorial was probably asking for trouble, though guaranteed to get publicity. It's high profile, and highly tempting to disfigure if you don't get out enough.

But remember the 1,000 who had enjoyed the experiment. If half a dozen people shout racist abuse at a football match, you don't eject the whole crowd. You kick out the yobs. The crowd will probably help identify them, the police at the event will do the rest. And if there are no police available, the game probably won't go ahead in the first place.

So, dumping the dodgy footballing analogy, I reckon: find appropriate places to try "wikis"; rejoice in the range of (most) contributions; encourage the audience to tell you if there is a problem; make sure you can respond to those tip-offs; keep an eye on it as well; if you can't do that monitoring for a time, block contributions until you can.

We don't have the tools in place to do this yet, but we'll get them at some point and I want to try it as discussed previously.
