Wikis

Another useful tool that doesn't sound like it would be too hard to set up. A link to a wiki on the library's homepage looks like an easy way to do a community bulletin board and announcements of library events. It would be easy for anyone to change and update.

As I was reading about Wikis, I thought about all the emails the "Meylor Women" are sending back and forth trying to plan our trip to North Carolina. A wiki sounds like a great answer. Everyone could add their flight schedules and we could add our lists of what we want to do besides just sit on the beach or the deck and watch the ocean. Might have to try it out but I didn't see anything here that would help me do that. Are there examples of places where you can set up a wiki? Did I miss something in the links to information provided or just not understand what I was reading?
