Wiki or not-wiki Guys In the long-run, I think any multi-individual, multi-subject project is going to end up using a wiki approach for reasons of speed, transparancy and so on. I think it's also worth saying that the big commercial or LDS sites have yet to achieve stability, which they will do once all the big datasets have been uploaded and "processed", at which point the more esoteric, genealogical skills will come back to the fore, albeit with an expectation that supporting documents will be scanned and available on-line. Looking at the progress made by Family search in the last year or so, I would see this point being reached in the next ten years - a mere blink in the genealogical process. More practically, one of the advantages of the big sites is that they charge a subscription which does act as a de facto filter for idiots, although I agree not all of them. What I was wondering was whether someone who has a small well-documented tree might be persuaded to upload that info on one / all of the big sites in a deliberate experiment to see how quickly the info became degraded, or putting it the other way round, how heavy the workload was to keep it accurate.
