"Science 2.0"

Collaborative science. It's come up a few times in class (by Walter, IIRC).

Anyway, Scientific American has an article called "Science 2.0--Is Open Access Science the Future" (Printer friendly format, yay!) about collaboration on scientific discoveries using the Web 2.0 model of collaboration (e.g., Wikis).

How would this kind of thing work in the humanities? I wonder how shifts in ideology would affect such an entity in the humanities.

Via Slashdot. I mentioned the Sokal Hoax in the discussion...we'll see how that goes over.
