Boosting teamwork with wikis
Has your company started using wikis? Tell us about it.
From Greg, St. Paul Minnesota My company is embarking on its second venture into wiki land. As one of those leading the charge, I am cautiously optimistic that our relatively young employees will embrace this community. I like the idea of incentives and I plan to use that to help foster adoption.I'm looking for an active public wiki for wiki admins to help each other. Can anyone suggest a place to try? Seems ironic that it would be so hard for wiki admins to find and collaborate on best practices.
From Stewart, San Francsico, CA Rosen's use of incentives is an often overlooked, but excellent way to shift the focus from fear of change to seeing who can make change happen first. People tend to let go of their fears when something is presented as an opportunity for them to shine, and in the process, a significant amount of work gets done (as evidenced by the amount of information now housed in Rosen's wiki.
From Gregory Kohs, West Chester, PA One site that offers something the others don't is MyWikiBiz.com. It's a two-tiered mix between privately-edited (protected) "Directory" pages for legal entities and openly-edited "Main" pages for everything else. It's also a Semantic Web application, so you can use it for open, sortable, constantly-updated databases.
From Mike Crist, Houston, Texas This is the best e-commerce program out there. Includes an e-store and a staff to handle operations. Let me know your thoughts?
Hi Gregm
You may want to try looking at educators.pbwiki.com. This is a public wiki that has lots of educators collaborating and sharing ideas.
