Open Source and others

Came across an article, could've been IBM, on open source and how this could represent the future of IT.... Open source but its nature, relies on user participation to make it work. This same participation could provide the necessary impetus to ensure that knowledge management sites within large corporates work! This could extend to wikis, blogs, forums, etc - anything that requires a community concept and lots of user participation for it to work.

Looks like this may be the direction forward, and large IT corporates would be well advised to start investigating this area.
