An interesting fact is that the original wiki software was created in 1995, but it took at least another six years for large wiki-based collaborative projects to appear. Why did it take so long? One explanation is that the original wiki software was lacking selection operation and hence it couldn't effectively support content evolution. The addition of revision history and rise of large wiki-supported communities coincide in time. From evolutionary computation point of view this is not surprising: without selection operation the content would undergo an aimless [[genetic drift]] and would unlikely to be useful to anyone. That is what many people expect from Wikipedia at the very beginning. However, with selection operation, utility of the content have a tendency to improve over time as beneficial changes accumulate. This is what actually happens on a large scale in Wikipedia.
