Wikis

I found Wikis also to be of benefit to both personal and professional sense. It can be used as a tool for social networking, such as planning a surprise birthday party or working with a group of people geographically separated to plan a conference; and also for building knowledge in a certain area such as a personal interest or hobby area such as land kite buggying or children and young people's program planning ideas after an event or conference.

We could organise our work end of year function through a wiki and we could also use this tool to work collectively on our program overview document. The downside to this is that the author of the changes may not be so easily identifiable as the tracked changes in word, however this would save embarrassing oversights of leaving tracked changes on final or printed documents. What I would like to further investigate is how you define you wiki group and whether it is fully in the public domain.
