What's so great about wikis anyway?
It's obvious:
They are simple, efficient tools for managing knowledge and collaborating. They're particularly convenient in today's busy and international workplace.
With wikis, knowledge doesn't get buried in emails, locked into file systems, hard drives or servers, intranets or extranets, or closed in more specialised data management systems and knowledge management systems.
Wikis are online so users can access, collaborate on, and share content, knowledge and files anytime, anywhere.
Why use a wiki?
A wiki lets you and your teammates collaborate online. It's easy, efficient, and intuitive to use. Every user gets a voice and everyone's contribution is seen, heard, and can be commented upon. In this way wikis improve and democratize communication -- no one misses the 'memo' and anyone can send it. Wikis get information to the right people -- important information (documentation, processes, ideas, communication, etc.) is available to the people who need it, not locked and buried in one person's in-box.

I like that explanation. I could not figure why it would or is important for me. I noticed that wiki's probably appeal to the librarians when used at JPL.
