Today I suggested to one of my bosses that we maybe test out a wiki on the huge project that is the management and coordination of a local educational event we put together for the students and teachers of statewide schools in Wyoming each year. I referenced the following article.

www.informationweek.com/story/...e.jhtml

I suggested it could work well for our small nonprofit’s needs since we would not always have to wait for every person to be present to meet or get info (provided each person was responsible and timely about keeping their portion of the wiki updated). We could easily reference the project’s progress on the site anytime we wanted and stay abreast of all of its areas. In addition, we wouldn’t be inundated with emails clogging our inboxes that we had to constantly slog through to find what we needed. I think it would be very effective. Have any of you had any successes or rather problems, or any experiences at all integrating this into your company? I’d be curious to mutually share in this knowledge as much as possible.

As with any technology, I’m sure it’s only as good as the people who use it (or choose to misuse it).
