A blog post I wrote on hierarchical organisation vs. wikis for the Committee on the Anthropology of Science, Technology and Computing (CASTAC) of the American Anthropological Association:
http://blog.castac.org/2012/12/from-trees-to-networks-and-back-in-praise-of-desktop-wikis/
It was in response to some questions they asked (in case anyone else here is interested in contributing):
“What software have you found helpful for capturing data, transcribing interaction, conducting research, or analyzing findings? What problems tend to come up? Are there techniques in conceptualization, mapping, coding or other stages of the research process that you have identified as particularly helpful?”

Dr Andus,
Very interesting blog post. I am of course aware of your perspective, but it is always good to see things presented in an integrated manner, and this post plus your personal blog is a very good resource.
May I ask if you are in Google+? I would be interested in sharing to your post there, and copying you accordingly. If you are, you can easily add me at gplus.to/adeliyannis.

Thank you, Alexander. I haven’t been using Google+ but now you’re giving me a reason to try it out :)

Sorry, I tried but Google insists on real names and won’t register me as “Dr Andus.” So I won’t have a Google+ profile. (I recognise the benefits of online social networks but I have a problem with their insistence that one can only have one identity, just so that they can make more money. I believe that people have multiple identities in different contexts even in “real” life and it is a good thing. End of rant :)

P.S. I recognise that they are also doing it to deal with other important issues such as to prevent impersonation, bullying, trolling etc. but I just wish they could come up with other ways of dealing with that.
