Abstract

Part of the magic of Wikipedia results from the 5 Pillars and the governance and accountability processes that have enabled and facilitated a wondrous accumulation of information. Other "Pillars" guide Wiktionary, WikiVoyage, WikiSources, and the other Wikimedia publications. Each publication has developed its own governance and operational standards and variations.

The cumulative experiences from these endeavors would be of value to those charged with developing governance processes, especially in instances where a open and transparent commons is sought as he end point.
