A website now offers the complete texts of all of Shakespeare's plays, together with search tools. It looks useful, and of course if Shakespeare buffs want to engage in this sort of public spirited activity, that is kind of them. The plays are long out of copyright. However, I don't see any links to commercial works, such as books, which seems a tad parochial.

So why not expand on this idea. Why stop here? Why not have a wiki that rewrites Shakespeare's plays? Surely, they can be improved -- the wisdom of the crowd and all that -- and critics have long regarded some of them as distinctly second rate.

Of course, no one can be allowed to decide which changes are good and which are not -- that would be hierarchical. So everyone should get to change lines, or whole structures, as they choose, with the final word going to the iron-butted who sit in front of their computers 24 hours a day, and don't need to earn a living.

Then we can move on to re-do other works -- novels; plays; music; the possibilities are endless. What an era of perfection obviously awaits us!
