Wiki highlights

Patrick Lambe proposes a "wiki raid". I like that this uses wikis with a team in a room together around a real business task. It cements the idea of the wiki as something simple, useful, quick & collaborative. In effect you are establishing wiki behaviours up front. I may well be stealing this shortly.

James Matheson & Andrew Mitchell were both talking more wikis at the NSW KM Forum last night.

Andrew talked about 3 kinds of info his team's wiki: Eternal Truth (stuff that is correct for a long period), Past Truth (stuff that was once useful but is no longer current) & Collaboration (stuff that multiple people are working on now).

James talked about 3 specific wiki behaviours:

1. If you have something to write, write it on the wiki.
2. If you need to send an email, send a link to the wiki page.
3. Check the recent changes.

So there you have it - go forth & wiki.
