Week 11 assignment

Week 11. Discuss Chapter 5

       In this chapter, the author identified the difficulties of consensus decision making, and its meaning and practice for collaboration at the English Wikipedia. Also this chapter said that Wikipedia is an example of a historic means of community decision making in a new context. In particular, openness brings a new salience to the challenges of consensus practice. After I read this chapter,I think it's good way to voting and polling when there had a problem in Wikipedia. It is hard to make consensus about some issues. I think Wikipedia’s method is appropriate solution. Also I think gathering people’s opinion is easy but consensus decision making is hard. Because they have different thinking about some issues and articles. So I’m concerned about people’s consensus decision making.
