The result is the motivations for contribution tend to personal not social which may make limit contribution. For instance much of Wikipedia's content is contributed by a relatively few 'power' contributors. I'd be interested Ross's opinion on how adding recognition and reputation systems would change wiki's and whether it would increase either the incidence of contribution or the diversity of opinion or information captures. If reputation would influnce wiki participation how would it be implimented?
