Tantek and I were just chatting about the microformats Dot Org wiki and how people are sometimes seem a bit reluctant to sign in and edit it.

Edit the Fucking Wiki

Wiki’s are made to be edited. If you have something to add, add it. If you have something to fix, fix it. If the admins of the wiki decide that your contribution is not wanted or needed, they can always revert it, but that rarely happens.

Ryan,
it’s scary editing the wiki :-)
At least many people clearly think so, cause otherwise they’d be doing it.
I guess one reason is thhat some of the wiki pages are actual specs. So, who owns those, and who should be editing them? Authors only?
I’ve made a couple of minor changes, so now I’ll be emboldened.
Two months from now I can see the post:
“man, everyone changes the wiki all the time, its worse than the Mark Cuban entry on wikipedia” :-)
