Wikibooks
To me a Wikibook is like a sand castle. Imagine a kid constructing a sand castle on a communal sand box, participation is welcomed, but not required and as all people contribute some sand, there is plenty of sand for all, there is no need to fight over it or how the castle should be built, and when the castle is built it is only sand, it will be used again, what is important is that the sand continues to be added and kids come to build new and improved castles.

My favorite social order is Anarcho Communism.
