Fork and Extend Approach To Sharing

I (Ward) 've criticized Ralf of writing even more intertwined pages that leave potential coauthors no place to write: …

The FedWiki is first and foremost an individual Writing platform.

The originator of the FedWiki, Ward Cunningham, has had a lifetime of what he calls "Pair Programming".

Two or more people can see what each other is writing and that can inform and even inspire their own thinking and writing.

Real time monitoring of the others writing is built into the FedWiki with Recent Changes. Also, each FedWiki page prominently shows the newer versions of the page in the federation. With one click one can compare their page with any other page with the same title. Most pages with the same title have been shared by copying, often with edits, additions, and deletions. I (Marc Pierson) find many of the modifications to my pages are improvements so I just copy the changed page back.

The History of all of this creating, copying and editing is visible on each page, at the bottom and easily reviewed. This also allows one to revert to earlier versions.
