In my ninth interview I spoke with Jake de Grazia from CarrotProject. He told me about their plan to approach subject experts and academics and ask them to contribute their opinions, then ask the community how much they trust each expert’s opinion. I think this approach mirrors what happens on Wikipedia, where most of the content seems to be created by a small number of specialists. Using the community as a trust filter is a thoroughly Web 2.0 re-take on the peer-review process.
