Wikis
Wikis are collaborative websites that allow anyone to easily add, edit, or remove content. They work well because they are fast, open, transparent, and scale to large communities as more people contribute. However, wikis may not work well in organizations with a lack of open culture or control, or among small communities uncomfortable with new technologies. The "wiki way" is to freely fix anything that needs fixing through consensus-based collaboration and respect for diverse ideas. Wikis can be useful both internally for team projects and documentation, and externally for public information sharing.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Abstract Wikis have the potential to change the way extension does business on many fronts. But first, extension agents and specialists need to understand the power, potential and limitations of wikis and how to use them. e-Xtension is betting on it. They’re building wiki like functionality into every application under development. This session will show how to contribute to a wiki by creating and editing pages and how to teach others about wikis. We'll also discuss how (and why) extension can use wikis, both our own and others like wikipedia, to pursue the mission of extension.
