The Wiki-Way to the Nomination

| Similarly, open-source software is created by groups working on “patches,” as 
| programmers call them. Anyone can contribute, and the most useful ideas 
| thrive. A result has been successes like the Linux operating system and the 
| Firefox Internet browser.

| Yochai Benkler, a Harvard law professor whose book “The Wealth of Networks” 
| is a manifesto for online collaboration, points out a crucial difference 
| between Mr. Obama’s approach to attracting supporters and that of his chief 
| rivals. “On the McCain and Clinton Web sites, there is a transactional 
| screen,” Mr. Benkler said. “It is just about the money. Donate, then we can 
| build the relationship. In Obama’s it’s inverted: build the relationship and 
| then donate.”
