As part of an interview by Portland State University students, Ward Cunningham answers the question, "What strengths does wiki have as a mechanism for enterprise collaboration?"
The weakness in (a preconceived) structure is its strength. Today we celebrate this devine brainchild of Ward on its 14th birthday. Google:wiki+birthday.
To aigamedev: do you count wikipedia as being trivial or taking too much time?? :-) If the community has a framework and structure, then the wiki will evolve to fill those needs. I suggest you look at the hundreds of wikis that have evolved on a site such as wikispaces.

ironically, this lack of structure is also the downfall of wikis. they just take too much time to do anything on a non-trivial scale.
