I think everyone is right here, with Lars' point being the most
right on but Carl's ultimately being the vision that the OACS should
be striving for.
When I try to tell people about what community software is, I use
Amazon.com's functionality (which is actually a suggesion of
Philip's). I would not be surprised if Amazon's db servers have as
much if not more user contributed content as editorial content. More
than once I've ended up purchasing a book that I learned about from
an entirely unrelated review of another book. This was because I was
able to follow a trail of user contributed content.
This functionality is, of course, the same that exists at photo.net
and at here. The problem, as Simon says, is that in oacs4 it's total
crap.
Perhaps this should be another item that use-case experts should
take on as a design task?
