- Fourth, the Wiki should be a place where participants can describe, link to, and analyze examples of the phenomena the book describes.
- The purpose is not to “make the case” for the book or find “gotcha” counter examples.
- What we are trying to do is provide a real research tool, annotated bibliography, and platform for collaborative learning.
