Next generation wiki

Thanks to Roddy McLeod's Internet Resources Newsletter for pointing out this recent story...

"Scientific wiki solves the 'Who Wrote What' problem
End of anonymity - Next generation wiki links every word to its author

Reporting in Nature Genetics, scientist Robert Hoffmann develops the first Wiki where authorship really matters. Based on a powerful authorship tracking technology, this next generation wiki links every word to its corresponding author. This way readers can always know their sources and authors receive due credit."
