3D17: Collaborative Editing
I found an article on
3D17.org on
SlashDot. 3D17 (readable in a 21st-Century way as “EDIT”) is a site experimenting with collaborative document creation.
People often talk to communities, but how do communities talk back? 3D17.org aims to answer that question by allowing a large number of people to collaboratively create some text, be it a letter, fax, or email. Have you ever thought what kind of letter the combined intelligence of 1,000 people might produce to support your opinion? 3D17 will answer that question.
Currently any document can get accessed by anyone, so you could have a pre-teen from the Czech Republic collaborating on a letter to your senator, perhaps, but it is a new use of the web worth considering, even as a thought-experiment made real.
