[Asis-l] Disruptive Scholarship Blog Launched

[Seth Grimes]

I don't understand this usage of "disruptive."  A disruption is an event
that throws the existing order into a state of confusion or disturbance.
How does Wiki, as supposedly disruptive technology, do that?  Wiki
provides new collaboration tools based on a new model that enhances and
extends rather than disrupting other efforts.  And compared to e-mail and
lists such as this one, it's hardly low-end.
