They models these tools generate are parametric, but in the simplest sense (no history, no real relations, etc). The consultant, according to accounts on his blog, wanted to introduce more sophisticated modeling tools, but Linden Lab didn't want anything more than what they currently have (excluding their more recent additions: "flexiprims" and "sculpties"). There's no reason to think that at *some* point Linden Lab won't improve the modeling tools; however, I expect the open source efforts surrounding OpenSim to take the lead, mostly because IBM is working on a "Fashion PLM" (though admittedly their effort could be a 2D "pattern" affair). Meanwhile, Croquet reportedly has the beginnings of a CAD system being coded into it. I don't know much about it though.

Wikinomics is a really enjoyable read that goes into alot of different examples and tries to draw out the fundamental forces that are moving the world towards crowd-sourcing / peer production. The Wealth of Networks is a little heavier, but the thing I found really valuable there was a deep exploration of the motivations of individuals to participate in social ventures without direct monetary compensation. That's one of the first questions that doubters of this phenomena always bring up: why would people work for free? Dr. Benkler provides many answers to that. Also, I am in the middle of "The Big Switch" by Nick Carr (the guy who wrote IT Doesn't Matter that caused such a firestorm amongst IT leaders a few years ago). While not directly related to peer production, it focuses on the move to software as a service, which IMHO is a key technical enabler of social production. Imagine a manufacturer providing product development tool in the cloud that it's customers could access to particiapte directly in the design process.
