Enterprise wiki topics

Above are pointers to external resources. These are topics that people might be interested in exploring here.

• Backups - What are the implications of wiki on backup systems?
• Encouraging gardening - How do you grow gardeners?
• Incentives - What kind of incentives do you use (if any) to get user buy-in in a start-up wiki?
• Wiki Administration - How much time and effort do you spend on administration activities?
• Training - What do you incorporate into your training efforts?

Writing Code with Wikis

Interpreted code can lend itself to a wiki-based editing approach too. See In Praise of Tweaking: A Wiki-like Programming Contest

I'm currently considering moving the maintenance of some Matlab scripts currently in a file-based revision system that most people don't use to our internal wiki, inspired a bit by the above article. I put a couple scripts in as a prototype and am going to see how people react to the idea. P.S. is there a shortcut for "signing" posts in this editor? Joe Daverin

Can anyone contribute to this wiki? Do the case studies for use of wiki within enterprise have to be based on socialtext?

 Anyone can contribute, and I'd say that we don't all need to be Socialtext users.

There is a page on how to sell the introduction of a wiki to your company over at the Wikia Scratchpad:
http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/Wiki_sales_pitch

That might be of some use to users here as well...
