Wiki

At last week's Bib Group mtg. I not only suggested that we use a wiki to share ideas about space planning (and, of course, miscalled it a blog), but I put my ideas into it. The very simple video showing how to create and post to a wiki was delightful. Why learn Camtasia when laying out cutouts of words (tent, food, maps, etc.) on the pretend screen (a white piece of paper--not even a white board) and flicking them away is so easy?? Just kidding, but it was masterful in its low-tech simplicity. If only there could be more uniformity in 10 Things terminology, such as "post" to a blog, but in a wiki it's "save" to make text public. I guess I think of "save" to "work on later." In the wiki, there was no "post" or "publish" button. "View" didn't do it, but seemed like a logical choice. Oh well.
