James D talks about wikis and what they are becoming. James links to posts by Ray Sims and the Atlassian dudes. Wikis are essentially about simplicity and openness. So RS's comment that you'll find traces of wikiness (to a greater or lesser extent) on intranets going forward is right, I reckon. And lots of things will get badged wikis. But are they simple? And can I edit them?
Oh I have to master CSS? There's an approval process? Ahem.
Wikis are starting to gain a foothold in organisational information ecologies. And they are changing this environment and being changed by it in the process. And in doing so, they'll interact & transform surrounding tools - intranets, email (which takes a pounding in the Atlassian/Razorfish slides), etc.
Part of me relishes this impurity, this messiness. But it's OK, I have a powerpoint slide with boxes that shows how all these sworn enemies can get along just fine. There are arrows on the slide as well so it must be good.
