I'm forwarding a NY Times article (free reg. req'd, blah-blah) about the changes Michael Kinsley is proposing for the LA Times edtorial page. In essence, they're going to wikify the editorial page and allow readers to contribute. Sounds like there might also be a total content posting cap per user. I'm sure there's something over at LA Times as well.

There are the expected howls in reaction, of course, and the usual arguments of authority, i.e., "What will happen to the institutional voice of he LA Times?" What's really interesting is that Kinsley cites Wikipedia specifcally as a model of inspiration.

WOW! This is big stuff for open content and Commons-Based Peer Production.
