It seems like whenever you give web users collaboration tools (with proper security/vandalism protection), they often exceed most expectations of what they can accomplish. If someone told you about Wikipedia before it went online, could you have guessed it would grow to be the resource it is today?

Granted, most of the people who use Wikipedia aren't article editors, but that's okay, and I could see most Wiki-OS users being there to just use the apps, with a minority of devoted developers. Personally, I think this is a really cool idea
