"Linden Lab Announces Co-Winners of Inaugural Linden Prize
Contest Honors Second Life Projects That Are Improving Real Lives; Studio Wikitecture and Virtual Ability Both Awarded $10,000 USD. (...)
The Winner: Studio Wikitecture
Studio Wikitecture explores how a geographically dispersed design team can simultaneously work on the same architecture or urban planning project. This includes sharing ideas, editing the contributions of others and voting on the success or failure of proposed design iterations. To help guide and manage collaboration effectively, Studio Wikitecture built a version tracking Wiki that it calls the "Wiki-Tree." Unlike conventional wikis that track text documents in a linear history, Wiki-Tree tracks versions of 3D models and saves them within a continually evolving digital tree structure. Studio Wikitecture's most recent project saw a number of different participants from varying disciplines come together and collaborate on the design of a health clinic in one of the more remote parts of Nepal."
