Thing 16 - Wikis

Haven't posted in a while due to the various deadlines involved with Javanow, PPE Midyears, and the desk hours that go along with working at a library that circulated OVER A MILLION ITEMS LAST YEAR! Yeah baby, we're busy.

Anywho - Wikis seem like a useful interesting form of communication and cooperation if you can get everyone on board. I know MCPL has kicked around the wiki idea for several years, and I think we even have a few? I was interested to see that even though some of the links from the training were years old they were still active. The Rochester Community info page was really neat, but since MCPL serves such a range of communities around DC, I don't know if a similar effort would work. I think in our case, using it as a tool for communication would be great. We have a wiki on the Intranet for Java Now and Symphony, which was begun in Oct 09, but there are no posts to it besides the original one. I guess people can only do so much. I'd rather fool with the new apps on my Itouch.
