I actually tried that for a while on another site and found it to be rather difficult to keep useful to people. Hi Susan – I don’t have any plans to open up editing to the public.

But for blogs published by an individual, it seems like a square peg in a round hole. I'm curious if TheKCGuy plans to open up the community editing and posting features of his wiki in the future. I think that could be really powerful. (BTW, I'd love to see a future post take a look at hyperlocal sites that are community driven. What's the technology behind them? How do you encourage and support the community? How do you prevent abuse? Etc.)

I especially like what used to be a called "blog site" - the typical WP design with both posts and pages. I wonder about adding a wiki as a page to a WP blog. I haven't looked into it, but assume there is a plugin? Anyone have favorites? Reading the article I was intrigued, but after perusing the site, I guess I remain partial to the blog format.
