Wiki Week 1

Hilarious 2.0 Wiki - it's so ggreat to work with such creativity. i'm so happy my brnach is permanently moored - for now at least. the proble i can see, and this is the same with any web application, is with keeping the information up to date. Perhaps with wikis, more than traditional websites or blogs where one or a few people are responsible for the content, wikis are dependent on interest being sustained in a subject in order for the wiki to remain relevant. this is particularly true if the wiki is going to be used to list activities, etc. Much of the info I found for Steven's county was out-of-date, and with no one person responsible for updating, it's easy for this to fall through the cracks. I think wiki's have some great uses - I particularly like the idea of a reader's wiki for KRL patrons and project-specific wikis for staff.
