Some Notes on Wiki

• I've never contributed to a wiki before, although I have accessed them. Of course, I used Wikipedia and the Young Adult Wiki. I do have my misgivings about the authority of Wikipedia, which makes me excited for Google's knols, but that's off topic.
  
• Wikimedia Commons is quite cool, more user friendly than the Creative Commons site for browsing.
  
• As I head back to school I can foresee using wikis for group projects (Man, would they have been useful for the first two years!).
  
• I was intrigued by the idea of a wiki as intranet. I don't know how practical it would really be but at the very least it could more intuitively organized and searchable.
  
• I also like the idea of a community information wiki, maintained by citizens as well as librarians. Again, I don't know how practical it'd be for a community our size, but I'd be interested in seeing which areas were most developed.
