Reader versus Writer.We are building knowledge repositories where every knowledge member participates.

    The design team is framing this discussion as Reader versus Writer, but I believe we may actually be addressing a different distinction: Users in general versus the Site Owner.

    Horacio and Bea, could you clarify the main differences between the interfaces required for Readers and Writers?

    We need to be careful here. Our goal is to build a system where everyone can become a knowledge contributor, rather than remaining a passive reader. If that’s the case, the distinction between Reader and Writer may not be the right framing.

    I’d like to confirm whether the issue you’ve identified is truly about Reader versus Writer roles, or whether we might be conflating it with a different concern — such as the distinction between general users and the site owner or publisher.
