Re: Wiki #wikis

Gardner, Mike <Micheal.Gardner@...>
I don't claim to be an expert in this area but hopefully
this may help.
I believe there are fundamental differences between a wiki
and a discussion thread. Wikis are meant to be a common area for a group of folk
to work together to deliver something. As I see it they are meant to be a
place where someone produces an outline, then others collaborate together
to enhance that deliverable to (hopefully) make it a better deliverable. I
therefore feel a wiki is something that has a defined purpose and is not
something that goes on forever. For instance, if we as a group wanted
to put together our recommendations on how to use wikis to support a community,
we might use a wiki to do this. Someone could start with an outline and the rest
of the community could come in and edit it. If we realized we started discussing
blogs within the wiki we may decide we really need to create a separate wiki for
those and pull that material in to a separate wiki. Once we are happy with the
results the wiki can be marked as complete or turned in to a formal
document.
Discussion threads provide the group with a more general
focus to discuss ideas, concepts and possibly even thought on what might be a
useful wiki to work on together.
