As the text itself becomes more and more part of a technical setting, and as the program moves more and more into the center, the project of collaborative writing gradually dismisses the reader.
To a user who accidentally stops by and starts to read, the text itself doesn't say all that much. She has to become a writer, she has to join the authors, including their discussion group, in order to understand what's going on and to enjoy the project. One has to take part in this group, one has to read this 'text' to enjoy the other, 'official' text. Quality of text, in the way critics use to approach this issue, doesn't matter any more.
What matters is the event of which one is part of. Someone who is not in the game might not enjoy watching it, unless he or she approaches for other reasons like researching the dynamic of the group, the 'social aesthetics' behind the text itself.
