Wikis

I've worked with wikis before for classes and projects and they were certainly very useful. I learned very early that while wikis are great for posting documents, they don't work very well for communication. My groups always fell back to email for communication purposes. I loved the book lovers wiki and I added it to my del.icio.us account. I can really see how such a tool would be popular with library patrons and attract those who don't usually visit the physical library or even the website. I was fascinated by the fact that the Bull Run Library wiki is maintained by a library patron! I guess that's the true spirit of wikis. I'm curious about any official library involvement.
