Hmm, added my link. I like the WYSIWIG editor but it failed on me when trying to add the link (error in the page) and I had to go to the old-fashioned editor.
Our library is going to be using a pbwiki wiki (because of the WYSIWIG editor) for an 'Ideas box' where staff can log ideas and discuss them in an online environ. I am hoping it might get ideas floating across the entire library service instead of keeping them confined to a branch. It will be confined to library staff and password protected, even just to view it. I'd like to have it hosted on an internal server, but I don't want to spend money on something like this if it turns out staff are notgoing to use it (and I can just convert it across if it works well).
Because of the Ideas Box, I've had a bit of a play around with wikis. I even tried setting one up on my webserver (it comes bundled with it) but it had WAY too many options that I had not a clue about (and the server is slow). Honestly, I bought the space just so I could have my email address...one day I might put something on there, but mostly I just use it to test stuff for work.

#16 So what’s in a wiki?
Wiki wiki wiki! I quite like wikis, in fact I've editted some things on wikipedia. Not much, but a few things.
Looking at Library Success, there are a couple of things that caught my eye.
Services in a multi-lingual environment.
Very interesting for Brimbank as we're a community that has a very strong multi-lingual focus (we collect in about 16 different languages, the newest being Bosnian). Some of the information about brochures and the like was interesting, I might even make some editings on there if we do anything fancy.
Staff training.
Also interesting, more because of the programs that were implemented (although no mention of the Learning 2.0 model on there)
That's all for now.
