Very interesting. How about upgrade knowledge to git?

People iterate knowledge together in a git-based knowledge base network.

Upload your own knowledge base, wiki to the network.

Push/pull -> new thoughts, breakthroughs...

Merge -> different knowledge branch

Then build a search engine on top of it.

Jesus, that would make research papers easier. Historiography via pull requests and push comments? Yes!
