A group is it's own worst enemy... Tel est le titre d'un texte de Clay Shirky. Décrivant les écueils rencontrés trop fréquemment dans le développement des "social software".

Un extrait qui m'a fait penser à xtof :

« Three weeks ago I ran a meeting for the Library of Congress. We had a wiki, set up by Socialtext, to capture a large and very dense amount of technical information on long-term digital preservation.

The people who organized the meeting had never used a wiki before, and now the Library of Congress is talking as if they always had a wiki for their meetings, and are assuming it's going to be at the next meeting as well -- the wiki went from novel to normal in a couple of days. »
