Wikipedia?

Here is an interesting post with thoughts on Wikipedia's dark future and there are three points that caught my attention.

First, the idea of commercial forces forcing their models on Wikipedia commercializing it. Basically the argument in the post is simpler and is about commercial entities taking advantage of the openness of Wiki. However, i think that it may even go beyond to a greater influence, such as that described by Schiller in his book - advertising based models taking over new media and new outlets.

Another point is about the bureaucratic structures that emerged in in Wikipedia. The interesting point is that the hierarchy in Wikipedia is activity based - those who edited more got into more powerful positions. The problem with this structure is that once the hierarchy got established, people "in power" channel they energy to preserve the power strucutre.

The thirds point is about lack of incentive for Wikipedians to continue contributing to enterprise - they are getting neither money nor recognition for their effort (which raises interesting questions regarding how they utility from contributing to Wikipedia is constructed).

The last two points made me thinking again about the potential structure we are seeking for the "Human Network". On the one hand, the idea of having a non-hierarchical structure may be workable, but there is still should be bureaucracy that will prevent people from gaining too much power that will allow them to abuse their position. It seems to me that once the main focus shifts from the core activity of an organization to preserving particular power structures, the overall performance of the organizations suffers. At the same time, the issue of incentives is important. We've seen that in the last few years dealing with HN and that is not new, but it is still good to see it shared by others.

Any additional thoughts anyone?
