As a test, I recently requested that Grokipedia update its page on OpenSolaris to include the source code release history I kept while I was the community manager. There were over 80 releases of source code, entire projects, and technical documentation during the five years of the project. I kept the history here. Anyway, I submitted the request to Grokipedia, and a few hours later the page was updated. Just like magic! That’s pretty much impossible with Wikipedia since I’m not one of their chosen editors. In fact, many years ago I tried to make changes to pages on Wikipedia and they were reversed seconds later. So, good on Grokipedia. I’ve long since given up on Wikipedia so it’s great that Grok is moving forward with a new community-driven encyclopedia.
