Wikis offer a way to manage information: a convenient place to collect

1. contact information;
2. links to save; and
3. a place to share research. 

For many, they function as a DIY homepage to organize material, reduce paper clutter and store it - easily accessible from any computer connected to the net.  It’s like a whiteboard – you can post active links – the kind you click on and they take you interesting places – using a wiki makes it possible and easy to get others to do it for you! 

1. What is a wiki? The oldest of second generation web technology - it goes back as far as 1995.  
2. Why wiki (what's in it for me (WIIFM)) 
3. Practice: go here to edit and create without fear of messing up. 
4. Where can I get a wiki of my own? 
5. A white paper: that arguably accomplishes what I aim to do in a static, text-only, format
6. Using Wikis for Online Collaboration (book review)
7. trust building activities
