What’s a Wiki?

Had an (long) meeting at work today about a bunch of stuff. Some highs, but mostly lows. What was funny was the topic of wikis came up for use to build a collaborative web site. Only thing is, the IT people in the meeting didn’t have a clue on what a wiki is or how it worked. Yet, since it was recommended as a possible solution set, everyone’s sold that the magical “wiki” will fix things. In all fairness, I think a wiki for work does have its place.

I guess I found it very disheartening to hear the IT decision makers say “what’s a wiki?”
