Wisdom of Wikis
Posted on October, 4 at 11:38 pm | Filed Under Collaboration
I agree that a wiki can be a good tool for decentralized decision making … the interesting thing is a wiki ‘hides’ each users contributions behind the versioning capabilities that in my experience don’t get used too much … which means that it levels out the effect of lesser or more well known contributors.
