OurBigBook is a bit like a Wikipedia where each person can have their own version of every article.
This addresses the main shortcomings of Wikipedia:
  • contributors are not clearly recognized for their contributions. Clearly knowing who wrote what, and having upvotes and reputation is an essential motivation mechanism for free knowledge contributors.
  • what you write can be deleted at any time, for two major reasons:
    • excessive notability guidelines
    • the requirement for "encyclopedic tone", which precludes in theory tutorials
    If you spend four hours writing a tutorial for a website and it gets deleted without comment, you are never ever going to write everything for that website again.
    In OurBigBook, you can write about whatever you want, and no one can delete it.
  • inconsistent page granularity: it is somewhat random if an article deserves to be a toplevel page, or only a subheader. With OurBigBook, every header is a toplevel page with the dynamic article tree feature.
