Until now we have seen examples, where Wikis are used as smart tools for established companies, who source out their problem solving capacity to the crowds. Google:CrowdSourcing

Instead of paying some (say a team of 10) employees, to design, program, deliver content, etc. they harvest wikis, especially CreativeCommons based wikis to solve their own business problems often without paying a dime to the contributors.

The author hopes that his provoking intro leads to a list of established or known initiatives, where wikizens can demonstrate income models, that have been created bottom-up from existing wikis. The author copies this text also to Meatball and the Aboutus Wiki, curious how this seed develops here at [http://www.socialtext.net/lite/page/wikinomics/wikinomicsgrassroots SocialtextWikinomics: WikinomicsGrassroots]''Hey this wiki needs a WikiPrefix, to be easily quoted from other wikis.)'' and elsewhere.
