Abstract
The original hope that wikis would contribute to a new culture of cooperative text production has as of yet only partially come true. It has proven easier in the common generation of technical instructions than for other types of texts. Scientific comments harbor far less potential for conflict than philosophical analyses. Generally, collaborative writing is a great cultural challenge for the simple fact that our society has not developed a culture of free cooperation.
