#16--So What's in a Wiki

I liked the little video on wikis. It was a great explanation of what a wiki is, how to use it, however low-tech their production is. (just makes me chuckle each time I see these explanation about new technology illustrated by using crude sketches and hands ...what's wrong with this picture?)

There are a couple of really good reasons for Wikis: 1. It is a great way to share information; 2. It is a great way to organize that shared information and have it in one spot.

Some downsides I see from the wikis that I looked at. 1. I found several dead links--looks like once they were put up, there was not much monitoring: 2. Some were not really up to date. One had their reading program for 2006.

That said, I enjoyed the GRPLpedia. It was well organized, easy to read and figure out, and looked like it was current and up to date.
