I'm not sure that I'm a huge fan of Wikis, at least how I've seen them used in the past (like Wikipedia). Even though some sites make you take responsibility for your edit, some do not, and I can't tell if the info is accurate or not. I did enjoy the video explanation, however, and thought of some uses for a wiki for my husband with his camping trips with the kids, coordinating so many people and equipment. I'd like to look into that option to make sure that only the people he wants to see it can, especially if he's able to post photos or a link to flickr since it deals with dads and their kids (most wouldn't want their kids pics floating on the web). I'll have to look in to that option.
I'm not really sure about the point of a wiki, though, when it comes to a large or 'secure' entity, like Wikipedia (the information is often not correct when dealing with biographies) or our library. I would think that the information about the library is 'static', and that we would want control of the facts/information circulating. To me, the conversational tone of a wiki is best served in a chat room about a topic or even a blog, if you want a one-sided conversation, like this is (heehee!).
