Thing 5 - Wikis

I wish these had been around when I was writing proceedures in the bank in the 90's.  What a great idea to be able to work in more collabortative environment.  Another benefit would be trying to get others to understand a difficult concept.  We all see things differently from many perspectives.  Explaining Cutter numbers is a prime example.  I think when you know something very well it is hard to fully explain it to someone else and constant feedback and adjustments would make it easier.

The Wikis I looked at were well organised and easy to follow.  They also contained a large amount of information.  I can see the need to have a fluid basis for establishing patterns of work and procedures.

I see a need for sharing information along these lines.  This combined with the ease of use makes a case that Wikis are still having their day.

  2. Do you use cutter numbers?? lol
    But yes- wikis can be good for procedures and explanations! You could include other people's ideas about explaining cutter numbers?
    [and I do like the way Blogger gives you different views for your blog - magazine, mosaoc etc...]
