Wikipedia authoring: Can we learn a lesson?

• With over 1,693,879 (often excellent and authoritative) articles
• produced by 282,874 Wikipedians
• With an apparent low learning curve
• And active communities providing extended capability
  • Chemistry has extensions such as Cite, Graphing, CharInsert, Jmol molecular display etc
  • Chemistry has Templates such as DOI/COI, Chem-Data, Chembox, etc.
• Question: Could Wikipedia-like authoring complement publisher Post-processing?
• • To capture the Golden moment
• See CHED 71 for discussion of how a cohort of 90 students responded to this challenge!
