Week 7: Thing 16

Wikis

Okay, so the term reminds me a bit of Ewoks and Wookies...but hey, I am of the Star Wars generation.

Here at CCPL we have been using wikis to share information among groups and teams for a couple of years now.

Wikipedia is the ultimate in wiki-ness. It is a user-centered, user-developed, and user-controlled resource. When something is amiss in wikiworld, the users are able to send up a flag. It is self-regulating. A very interesting concept...
