Wikis

It is my job to keep the QL page in Wikipedia updated, so it's a technology I'm familiar with. In our setting, it would be excellent for any collaborative project, especially those that involve input from people in different locations.

One excellent use would be the annual Tri-Li collaboration over summer reading lists, that inevitably involves multiple editors in multiple locations from multiple systems. Another might be collaborations that the I-team or WorldLinQ teams work on.

That's the good news. The not-so-good news is that I got interested in a book description on one of the wikis in the discovery exercise, and immediately went to Amazon to buy yet another book I don't have room in my house or my budget for.
