While waiting for your Google Wave invitation, you could try an already-existing form of online collaboration: the wiki.
So you’ve done a 
presentation or you have an idea that you would like to expand…wouldn’t you like to allow your audience to contribute to your vision?
You have procedures that you would like to share with your staff…let your staff collaborate with you!
If you would like to create a collaborative website, or a just place for your own notes, try creating a wiki. Here is a practical introduction to Wikis in the workplace.
- Some OPLIN staff members use these free wiki packages: TiddlyWiki and dokuwiki.
- Or here is a wiki comparing available wiki software: Wiki farm
Two examples of a wiki in use:
- Wikis 101 Home – from Special Libraries Association
- Open Thinking Wiki – Digital Literacies & Emerging Technologies
Cool fact from this 4Cast:
“Wiki” has been backronymed by some to “What I Know Is” (Wikipedia)
