#16 So what’s in a wiki?

I found looking at all the wikis really interesting and as usual it seems that the potential is almost limitless. It would be great to have wikis about all our local communities listing and reviewing places to go and things to see, established and maintained by the locals. I also found the idea of having library catalogues that could be added to by the borrower really really exciting. What a great collaborative tool. I'd be happy to start up the first one one gardening books in the library and gardening resources in our community! I can also see the down side if someone deliberately vandalises a site. It must be hard sometimes to find the balance between open access and maintaining a credible site,
