I just changed someone else's website!
I mean, I've done it before, but when it's not
Wikipedia or some wiki belonging to friends it feels a little weirder and more giddy. I was just visiting the website for
Foo Camp and noticed a typo. Uh, and of course, FooCamp is already way over so there was no need for me to do it anyway. But this bodes ill. Basically, wikis are a giant magnet for proofing-happy folks like myself. Watch out! They're coming! At you! With their red pens! Denying you your natural voice!

"A WikiGardener is a person who goes around the wiki, correcting typos here, rearranging things to be more readable there. "

There is generally considered to be a *shortage* of gardeners.
