Wikis

I always wondered where the name "Wiki" came from, and now I know. As a former editor, having my writings being vulnerable to slicing and dicing by other people is a bit un-nerving. On the other hand, if accuracy and information can be improved upon, then these collaborative efforts are worth the exercise.
Our adult learning centres could use wikis to share lesson plans, build web spaces, plan conferences or meetings, and to outline our best practices. (A lot of these ideas originated from the library wikis.)
I just read Sheri's blog entry and I agree wholeheartedly with her that we could have a Wiki Demonstration Site shared among our sites.
Really, the possibilities are endless with Wikis.
