    • I think this Wiki way of working on projects is truly wonderful. I know there are a lot of questions about it but I like the way the speaker answered some of them - "those are the same questions and rules that apply in our social life".
    • What seems to be often forgotten is that the way we can collaborate today, here on this Wiki page, is BY FAR better than we could ever imagine just 2, 3 years ago. Certainly few could imagine an Internet based software that would work so well in the late 1990's. Perhpas we should all get a bit more excited about what we are allowed to do with Wiki.
    • I am really criticizing myself here more than others as I have the same temptations to see negative things first before ever thinking of positive aspects (For instance, I think soon http://www.myspace.com will be shut down due to all the negative things that this web site creates; I would never think it helps to stop shooting in high school as it did, for instance.)
    • It seems that http://www.wikipedia.org/ is a perfect example that there are a lot of good and positive aspects to humans being in charge of developing content. I think we should all remember that.
    • Job well done eExtensions, Sincerely - Shamick Gaworski
    • Just a quick thank you to everyone who participated. I hope you got something out of it. I'll have this page on my 'Watch' list. If I see any thoughts, concerns, or questions that I can address, I'll do it here. Thanks again - Kris Olsen
