concerns about quality

[Margarita Erico]

Hi, everyone. I've seen your comments already pose my concerns

First of all, there's a need to define quality

Regarding content, it's true that anyone can edit the stuff we make,
this affects both author and reader regarding validity of
information. But authors could keep track of their wikis and readers
always have the chance to select whose material they are reading.

On the whole I am optimistic as peer review may also improve content
and/or layout of our work.

Thanks for this comment, Margarita.

My question is: how do we know what we teach from textbooks, enclyclopedias etc is "quality". In many cases, references and sources of information have only been refereed/reviewed by a couple of people - surely the power of review on a open wiki is far greater?
