If the internet will eventually be thought of as the repository of all knowledge on earth, then the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.org will likely be thought of as the table of contents. Many thousands of pages have been written about it already, and since we have talked about it in class I won't attempt to summarize what WIKI's are, instead I'll focus on a few key elements on Wikipedia.
The major thing I think about it is that Wikipedia is intended from the start to present localized content in any number of languages. It uses language as the primary organizing principal, and its home page presents the user with the opportunity to reset the language of the content they are searching into, such that content is free to evolve along separate paths in different languages. For an example, consider divergent content about "Open Source" in English and French.
Each page is intended to be maintained by the public, and features a transparent common organizational system, with a table of contents and subject headings, as well as detailed content including pictures. By it's own explanation, it priviledges consensus as the means for judging content evolves.
I intend for CluelessPC to follow this path except without the consensus. My goal will be to solicit and acquire faithful translations of content I develop first in english. I don't see any other way. On the other hand, since I don't speak a second language well enough to evaluate the quality of any translations I will need to figure out a way to deal with editorial issues with localized content I have no hope of maintaining. This will likely create latency between evolving lead content in English and everything else. In many cases, Wikipedia's development has followed this pattern as well, since its content is still primarily English language, despite it's multi-lingual mission.
