Week 7, #16

I spent a lot of time reading wikis and reading about wikis. So much of what I looked at was outdated--wikis that were created awhile ago with no recent updates. I was interested in reading an article from the Washington Post about a wiki for the ingelligence community called Intellipedia. It has 15,000 edits per day with 100,000 users. Now that sound like a powerful tool for a specific audience. I understand that the intent of wikis is to be a knowledge sharing tool and a way to organize information--most have an alphabetical list of categories. Our library team has used Google Docs and I have found that easy to use with a very similar objective as a wiki. I must say I am underwhelmed with ideas for implementing (and updating) a wiki, but perhaps I need to keep exploring.
