Yes, a persistent world is a very good example of where a running summary can be vital to the longevity of collaborative writing. They are also very nuanced, and likely deserve an entire article devoted just to optimizing their structure to make it easier for people to jump on in and stay in. I will be keeping tabs on your discussion and look forward to your discoveries. Thanks for your comment, Yuriy.

I noticed how relevant your article was and so have started up <a href="http://rpgforumsonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26446" rel="nofollow">a discussion</a> using it as a starting point. Most relevant and important for persistent worlds I find Overwhelming Content, and wholeheartedly agree with your proposed solution of maintaining a summary, though even when I convinced members of a roleplay to help keep the summary current, no new players joined and the roleplay lost its momentum and died out. While summaries are important, I'll be taking a closer look at your other proposed tools to see if some core combination can keep a roleplay viable.
