Wikis are a great tool for collaborating and sharing information within a community. I can see it would be useful for two people who are coauthoring a book and live in different places. In exploring the different wikis, I was intrigued to find a Toastmaster wiki, which I found extremely interesting since I am a Toastmaster.
My concern with wikis is that it seems TOO open. What would keep people from entering information under a false identity? How trustworthy would such information be? Then there is the issue of etiquette. Sometimes people don't behave themselves if they think there is no accountability.
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "of tekkie tools to sing: of wikis, blogs and podcasts and other webby things."
