Wiki 101: How to grow wiki use and collaboration

This session answers the essential wiki questions:

   - What is a wiki?
   - How does an organization's wiki differ from Wikipedia?
   - How do I make a case for using a wiki?
   - What's the best way to get started?
   - How do wikis change an organization's culture?
   - How do wikis "fit" with other collaboration tools?
   - How do I encourage participation and make the wiki "stick" as an
   idea and a tool?

We'll also look at Wikipatterns.com - a community edited directory of
strategies, tips, anecdotes and examples of collaboration, social
networking, and wiki use. The wiki is a vibrant community with 875
registered users, 200+ active contributors, and 86 patterns, at http://www.ikiw.org
