This is a useful video to get the point of "wiki" across to, say, the students in your class or a group of coworkers who may not all be on the same page.

Experimenting with on-line worksheets
I know some people who always teach their classes the same way, semester after semester, year after year.. Not me. I always want to experiment and try new things.
This fall, I'm experimenting with using a wiki in the classroom, in addition to my blog. This…
This quarter, I'm using a wiki with my bioinformatics class and posting sometimes about the things that I learn.
Two things I've been experimenting with are:
Setting up pages for individual students so they can take notes while they're working.
Embedding a Google form into one of my wiki pages…
There are 19 days until the Science Blogging Conference. We have 200 registered participants and a few people on the waiting list. The Sigma Xi space accommodates 200 and we have ordered food for 200 and swag bags for 200. Apart from the public list, we also have a list with a couple of…

I used this video in August as a tool to try to help persuade the veeps in my division that our support groups need independent wikis to share workarounds that aren't in the standard set of virtual libraries. They are still considering it, but trying to decide if they should set up "Closed" or "open" wikis. They still want to control the information they share, and my fear is that if they set up a closed one, it will be ignored because it will end up being just another version of a virtual library not written by people who actually use it.
Open is easier to implement, I think.
I think my brother may have done this with his company. Joe?
Great video, thanks for finding it and linking. I help out with a non-commercial collective of wikis, thought I might plug it. It's called Wiki Spot, http://www.wikispot.org, and anyone can start their own wiki about anything. Plus you have a community of experienced wikispot users in other wikis that can help you to understand the process.
Your link to Wiki Spot is broken (extra comma); this one should work better.
Sycamore looks like an interesting wiki platform. Right now, I'm deep in the voodoo realm of MediaWiki, so anything written in Python instead of PHP looks appealing. I notice nobody has implemented mathematical notation support, however.
Blake! There you go! You've found your own personal OpenSource project! I'm happy for you.
I think this is real neat! It looks like you could instantaneously, free, and easily set up a collaborative effort on anything that came up!
Dave Briggs :~)
Actually, I was thinking of passing that one off to a programmer friend of mine, because I'm in the middle of being tech guru for the EUREKA Science Journal Watch.
