Wow. I really want to be on Zed's side here, but while his message is 99% legit, his delivery leaves something to be desired.


Original author (martinemde) had good intentions but was stopped by a fact he was dealing with a douchebag.

Lesson #1: don't deal with douchebags.

Zed thinks he's making something of extraordinary quality that's going to suck when crowdsourced. I am 100% sure he's wrong because wikipedia is crowdsourced and wikipedia is awesome.


Did you notice that the book has an issue tracker? How many other books have one of those?

Also, Wikipedia may be awesome, but what percentage of Wikipedia clones are awesome?
