[Cool Stuff] Daisy: WYSIWYG Wiki for PDF Books: If you need the collaborative aspects of a Wiki combined with DITA's modular topics and publishing capabilities, then DAISY might just be the system you need--and it's free. DAISY provides WYSIWYG editing for Wiki pages that can be combined to publish books, either in a PDF or as a single HTML page.
[Westside BikeSIDE!] Bikes + Wikipedia = the ibikeu Wiki!: Sometime between May 14th and June 14th the wiki will be opened for public contributions. As the editorial base builds we will gradually release control to a democratically organized group of editors, and build up policies for resolving disputes over content.
[Paolo blog: Ramblings on Web2.0, Trust, Reputation, Recommender Systems, Social Software, Free Software, ICT4D and much more] TrentoWiki.it, a wiki for the city of Trento: TrentoWiki is opened to anonymous editing but you are certainly welcome to create an identity on the wiki. For me running a wiki is also a very useful experiment, for example for experimenting with the challenge to be multilingual .
[so this is mass communication?] teaching tools wikis & groups: In the classroom, encourage students who are working in teams with one another to write their papers using wikis or make a Google Group. My students use Google Groups (they are the ones who told me about it in the first place) and said that it was one of the best things they could do to not only keep track of all the documents associated with the project in one place, but all work together on the final writing of the project without making time-costing mistakes of double-editing.
[Recent page changes from site "Best Wiki Ever" (a Wikidot site)] "Wikipedia Sucks" - source change: If I type "TA-082 Wiki" into search and Wiki's with articles about TA-082. Wikipedia is first even though it doesnt even have an article about it (it was vandalized and made into a redirect to an unrelated article, like if you are a PSP fan and wanna know what a TA-082 is then you already know it has to do with PSP, so why would they make it redirect to the PSP article?)
[Webducate] Delete elements from wiki activities: NB - any changes made this way will appear in the wiki version history as being made by the last participant to make an edit. If you wish to maintain the integrity of the wiki version history, make an edit to the wiki as administrator before removing the element.
[Grow Your Wiki] Interview: The State of Wikis in Education: The biggest benefits of wikis are fast, efficient collaboration, recording tacit knowledge to make better use of it, collaboratively building projects, papers, and websites, and gathering input in an inclusive way. Students like them because they make group projects easier to coordinate, teachers like them because they can interact with students throughout the course of a project or assignment, see their progress, and give them feedback along the way.
[ffeathers -- a technical writer's blog] Yayyy! Confluence wiki has page ordering: [...] Confluence Wiki adds page ordering I’ve talked about Wikis before, and largely I think the core value comes through long-scale collaboration and, as such, haven’t really considered moving our documentation set to a wiki. There are very good cases for wiki-fying your documentation set of course, but for me there are one too many limitations.
[Raising Funds Blog] Wiki Charities Will Lead Change: Wiki charities understand that fundraising is shifting from push (for example: the charity saying, “The field needs X. Please donate Y”) to engage and co-create (for example: the beneficiary saying, “I need donor resources to enable me to do X” and the donor saying, “I want my resources to do Y”).
[Weather to math and stuff in-between] Wikis are Wonderful Things: But the wonderful thing about wikis is, you can play in one! Unlike this blog, where I transmit and you, the reader, .
[Infotoday Blog] Making Wikis Work: Boy, l wish I had attended Ohio University’s Chad’s Boeninger’s presentation "Wikis: Managing, Marketing, and Making them Work" before I asked my students in my online Introduction to Social Media class at the New School to create a wiki.
[mindtouch Blog] Deki Wiki skinning: One of the complaints I hear and have about Mediawiki is that all of the sites that use it look the same and Mediawiki is not that attractive to begin with. Mozilla has been able to create a nice skin around it, but otherwise I have not seen too many other examples.
