Just a Bit More on Wikis…

February 19, 2003 By Will Richardson

Ok, in terms of shared writing space, I’d agree that wikis are about as easy as it gets. And from this article I get that the log of changes is the key to keeping wiki ne’er-do-wells at bay. I guess if I just didn’t like what Pam added to the FAQ yesterday I would erase the changes and hope that at some point she would give up.

Wiki is an intelligence test of sorts to be able to edit a Wiki page. It’s not rocket science, but it doesn’t appeal to the TV-watchers. If it doesn’t appeal, they don’t participate, which leaves those of us who read and write to get on with rational discourse.

From the standpoint of truly collaborative space, a wiki is a pretty intruiging concept. I did try to have groups co-author in Manila, and I’m not sure I was real happy with the results. It was a little too hard to keep track of. Not so with the wikis we’ve been using. I guess in the name of intellect, I might just have to give it a shot with my journalism kids at some point. Now, any ideas on how I create one???

BTW, here is the first wiki.
