Big thanks to our hosts Alek Lotoczko at NYK Shipping, and to our food & drink sponsor David Terrar and WordFrame
Group discussion - Wikipatterns - how useful are these kind of tools or analysing pattern behaviour for wiki success?

Alek Lotoczko updated us on NYK shipping's use of wikis. They have switched to use Confluence
Andy Roberts show us a new 'revisions' feature wordpress (hugely popular widespread blogging software). Will this lead to use of WordPress as a Wiki?

Ben Gardner gave a talk titled Enterprise wiki's - Does one size fit all? -->- The essence of this presentation is covered in an earlier blog post 'What information storage system should I use?'. The central objective of this presentation was to explore a simple piece of business analysis looking at how business teams use collaborative space. It is argued that teams have different requirements in support of internal (within team) and external (enterprise wide) communication. The conclusion was that different wiki environments are required to meet a teams internal and external communications requirements. As a consequence a model utilising multiple different wiki environments is proposed.
