As I look at various wikis, I'm reminded that they are not used just to present writing. People build wikis for other purposes than personal expression. They are for collective knowledge making. I've started a WhatAreWikisFor topic.
My sense of the matter is that we're going to have to broaden what we mean by "creativity," and that we have to get past the idea that creativity is the sacred realm of The Individual. The pages for this seed all start to do this. (And someone might look into the history of how creativity in writing became attached to the individual. It wasn't always this way.)

===== Writing the Wiki: Seed the First ====
A documentary film I saw in high school worked off the idea that creativity is nothing mystical and nothing unique: It is the capability of looking at one thing and seeing another - and every human being has this cabability. We are built to see one thing in terms of another, to see patterns we call constellations, to creatively generalize from specfics. But while creativity might come as first nature for an individual, can groups of people do it? Or, perhaps better, can a group of people be even more creative than the individual?
Here are some pages on how wikis (or wiki participants) can enable / encourage / support creativity. Read them over. Follow some of the links to other pages. You might print out these pages you can read them at leisure.
