Intellipedia: Eine eigene Wikipedia für US-Geheimdienste

This article refers to a magazine article, Wikipedia ist schneller als die Geheimdienste, in Telepolis.

They talk about Dr. Andrus' and Mr. Russell's presentations and their references to Intellipedia.

Anyone care to translate? Their comments would be especially interesting to understand...

UPDATE: Dietmar provided a translation below. (Thanks Dietmar!) Please check the comments.

Found another article that refers to Intellipedia and Dr. Andrus:

At the Collaborative Expedition Workshop, D. Calvin Andrus, the chief technology officer for the Central Intelligence Agency’s Center for Mission Innovation, said the CIA has recently begun using wikis to share information. At first, the CIA used wikis internally. It has about 12,000 pages scattered throughout its top-secret network, Andrus said. Increasingly, though, the agency is using the technology to collaborate with other intelligence offices, Andrus said.

Analysts from the CIA’s Office of Iraqi Analysis are devoting time to assembling what they know into a collection of wiki pages, collectively know as the Intellipedia. The wiki pages can then be made available to other intelligence agencies and the analysts themselves continue to update the pages.

So how long do you think it will be before the rest of the CIA embraces Intellipedia?

-Technology is the enabler, not the solution
-The solution is changing the culture to allow intelligence officers to share and act -- with simple rules of engagement
-The ODNI must build an incentive and reward structure for those components that adopt this new model of doing business
