UNDERSTANDING WIKIS

Have been playing around with Wikis for a week or so and looking at lots of different ones and watched the video about how the wikis worked. Also read through the Opal training booklet which I did a few years ago and refreshed myself with wikis and there uses. Shame we don't have a bit more time to play with these things and use them in our workplace because the concept is really good.

I have used Wikipedia a bit and am amazed at how people look at it all the time - I have never edited anything. I think that Wikis could be useful now that we have amalgamated with organising events or maybe it could be used by Book Clubs across the region to access and make there comments about certain books that have read or would recommend to other book lovers. I just looked at Wookieepedia and although I am not a star wars lover found it good for a look around and then looked at Book Lovers Wiki at the Princeton Public Library - not much happening there now but the concept is good.
