The Wiki Way: Quick Collaboration on the Web Bo Leuf and Ward Cunningham 2001 Addison-Wesley


This book has a great deal of technical information, but I found the chapters on the social aspects of wikis to be the most intersting. Here are some of the highlights

Chapter 1 Introduction to Discussion and Collaboration Servers

Other versions of online collaboration include email, shared folders, discussion servers (p. 4-9) Are wikis "Yet another obscure technology"? (p. 9)

Features of web-based collaboration:

  • Free accessiblity of matieral
  • Up-to-date versions
  • Hyperlinking
  • Independence of platoform and application
  • Content markup

p. 10

Disadvantages include editing interfaces (tend to be kind of basic) p. 11
