A Brief History of Publishing at Sun ...
Many of my years at Sun were spent pounding away at the keyboard in relative isolation, writing technical documentation for what sometimes felt like an invisible audience. Fast forward to 2007 — my, how things have changed!
This video tells the story about how publishing has evolved at Sun. I was inspired by the release of wikis.sun.com, and I hope you enjoy it. Big thanks to our resident video wunderkind Danny Holland for the long hours he spent producing and tweaking the video.
I was there (and am there)!!! I feel a part of a larger evolution that's not always easy to see when you are in the middle of it. Great summary.

Nice history lesson that brings back some memories from the past.
I hope that Wikis (or whatever comes next) get bit more support from middle management than the Voyager project got. It not very easy to get people to participate and contribute when at same time demand is "to do more with less".

The key difference is community involvement. When all participants are on an equal playing field, ownership moves away from the hands of a few to "all of us," and better decisions are made (or poor decisions are reversed faster).
