Thing 8- Wikis

"Radical trust"for an open wiki on the www pushes a bit beyond my comfort level. Wiki's open to a particular community with a password seem to be the best of both worlds in this innovative sharing technology. The staff wiki, whether for a university or for a library could cut down on meeting time with preliminaray work being done by the committee by brainstorming on a wiki.

Wikipedia is not a verified resource but it can often be used as a starting point to find links with documented sources. In the library, when we offer writers workshops, wiki's could help participants share ideas and materials.
I have finished Thing 8.
