Wikis

What flexible things wikis are; I had no idea up to now that you could use them for conference/trip planning, project management or collaborative editing of a work. Another possibility I thought of was as a web-based notebook to organise my thoughts (boy, do I need this at the moment!:) I guess it works a bit like mind-mapping. All I knew of them to date was "Wikipedia". The Commoncraft youtube video gave wonderfully clear basic information on how to get started, and just how easy it was to use a wiki. It explained that wikis are great tools for co-ordinating information, and as such are great for giving a space for public feedback on library websites (although we would need staff assigned to monitor and answer them.) They also could be used for online tutorials.
You don't need HTML to write a wiki, and this may mean that in the future, standard web pages as we know them will be phased out. Various versions of wikis can support user login to prevent mis-use and vandalism. Maybe the new ACL web page could tap into the pool of knowledgeable and enthusiastic users. It could also be that a wiki could be easier to use and maintain than a fitch, and allow public viewing and comment as well.
