Did Ward Cunningham lose his mind.. c2 wiki is gone

The c2 wiki used to be a great place to find out controversial information on programming. It was like a intelligent bottom up web forum where people created the content without it turning into thread mode discussion - each page was like a wikipedia page that anyone could edit (though this means it had its faults too). Now Ward Cunningham has shut off the edit feature on the c2 wiki and come up with some bizarre crackpot idea of everyone having their own wiki web servers instead of it all being located on the c2 central wiki... is this sort of like free market wiki instead of centralized socialist wiki? His new wiki system seems to fragment the community and demand something virtually impossible: everyone has their own wiki server. What's the point? Don't fix what ain't broke. The c2 wiki worked fine, even with all its flaws...

The new wiki is called federated wiki (strange name for a wiki... sounds like... russian federation...)

"Leave Cunningham alone"

"I'm just another guy on the internet disliking something new (if we had a penny for each one eh). I'm not trying to mindlessly bash the guy work. The idea/implementation is not bad per se, but I felt it didn't play nice with the wiki concept."

Re: "2015-09-14 04:45" message about the different "weenies" perspectives. That's the good thing about it: you get different perspectives. How do the FP fans view problem X? How do the table fans view problem X? How do the OOP fans view problem X, etc. (Note that a table-weenie viewed "relational" as optional, a "static" version of tables, kind of. Some chaotic or unsettled domains allegedly need "bags" or "soft" keys.)

That being said, I also don't get the new "distributed wiki" or whatever it's called either. If somebody else "gets it", please explain it to us non-getters. It's kind of, "Sure, you can watch the play, but you have to bring your own stage."
