It's the Babel tower of today. Look at the 500Mio articles in the encyclopedia Wikipedia

There are many wiki systems, there's a list and a review

There are
1)the engines
TWiki, Mediawiki (features)

2)the software

Many data, one view: how to display information to retrieve it rapidly ?
Keyword: tree map.

There are many tools that display your info (files) on a tree or something else than a vertical hierarchy.

Read this intro article , this good one and this review of tools.

Internet as a tool: getting data, finding info, converting into knowledge

This is the environnment in wich you gonna evolve:
content without much form. Billion of webpages (text, image). Millions of forum (text). New technologies every year.
New technical network for new social network. Collective intelligence, social networking, community of practices...

Concept: metadata is the key to organization, to put a form on the content.

TOP2:
World Wind by NASA: most beautiful thing after the Earth itself ! Incredible scientific, educational and artistic value ! 15m to 0.25m resolution everywhere on Earth. Software of the 2000's.

Wikipedia: encyclopedia open to everybody, articles of good quality, free of rights. The new Babel tower.
