The discovery resource I found most interesting was "Using Wikis to Create Online Communities" by Meridith Farkas. I liked the discussion of self-organizing group discipline. Viewing the Wiki as end product that would be a consensus of its contributors gives everyone a "stake" in its creation and ongoing integrity. This is the answer to the question of who is the gatekeeper in 2.0: everyone who is involved in the product.
There is also a good discussion here about libraries using wikis as an outreach tool. The open-endiness of wiki make them ideal for brainstorming or visioning. Wikis can define community needs for you. By responding to those needs you complete a bridge to the public. Pretty soon there can be lots of traffic!
