Wow, so wikis are simpler than I thought. I didn't delve into how you actually create or add to one--but I can totally see the application in libraries.
I would love to have, for example, a youth services wiki, where we could post all of our ideas, fingerplays, RA booklists, etc. It could basically take the place of the boards on our intranet, and it would be SO much better because the information would be organized and easier to find.
Boy, a lot of those wikis out there sure are ugly, though. We'd have to pretty up anything that could be viewed by the public. I'm mostly thinking of them as staff resources right now, with access limited to library staff. But obviously there's a lot of information on there that could be useful to the public.
I can't wait to see the CML wikis that will be born out of this project!
