Collaboration is powerful
Got Tools?A wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor.
Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used to create collaborative websites, to power community websites, for personal note taking, in corporate intranets, and in knowledge management systems.

It didn’t feel natural
Things to Focus on
Don’t worry about infrastructure
Instead, focus on knowing your audience
Start Small, Focus on the Meaningful
