and when they arrive at this page, they find a questionnaire made up of five, rather like a form, with a few blank lines between questions. This is phase one. The visitor fills out some of these blank lines in response to these questions. When they have answered five questions, they go to phase two. They are offered a link called "proceed" and one by one they find the their earlier answers, about which they are asked further questions. There could even be further phases. The answers to these go obviously deeper into their aspirations and desires.

Example. Let's say the first question in phase one is "why are you here in this wiki", and one of the answers to this question is "I want to understand the world better". In phase two, this response "I want to understand the world better" appears, and a question is asked about it, such as "What is missing in your current understanding of the world", which might elicit a response like "I don't understand why politicians are so corrupt", Now imagine a phase three, in which they are asked another question to this phase two response "I don't understand why politicians are so corrupt". Now they have to answer again, such as "What do you think is the worst kind of corruption", and so on. The purpose of applying this technique is to help visitors go deeper into their own understanding and attitudes.

This can be done in wikis in two ways. Some detached volunteer, like you or me, who know how to ask questions that provoke systematic deeper and deeper penetration, could ask these questions in the visitor 'getting ready' page. Alternatively the process could be automated, which may not be as effective, because it is not always easy to design questions to responses BEFORE the designer knows what the response is.
