Task 15: Wikis

I find using the Library wiki very helpful - since August our little workgroup has been using it everyday to write our daily report. It is great for us because we have 3 people who do the 1 job - this way everyday the first thing we do is look and see where the others left off the day before. I like the way that it is searchable. Prior to this we used to communicate by daily emails - the problem with that was, although it was searchable, it was more difficult to access from home. This way, if you have forgotten something you can quickly log in remotely and add it. The downside though, as we have learnt from experience (grrr) is that two people can't work on the same page at the same time - it will overwrite the other's edits if you try to put it up without saving beforehand. - minor problem and now if we just tell each other when we are writing up.
