As everything is about collaboration, and everything can be moderated – why don’t content editors give edit permissions to their own content more freely?

Everyone is keen to provide view rights, but protective of edit rights, even though this is precisely where new information would come from. Although in certain areas – like corporate policies and procedures for example – this would obviously not be appropriate – for many functions and processes increased contribution to knowledge should be welcome, even if it needs editing before approval.

Cultural openness is hard to achieve – even in collaboration platforms designed for exactly that purpose.
