Well, what's so great about wikis anyway?
Wikis are simple, efficient tools for managing knowledge and collaborating. They're particularly convenient in today's collaborative research environment.

• They're easy to learn and use. Wikis aren't as complicated as other types of content management systems.
• With wikis, knowledge doesn't get buried in emails, locked into file systems, hard drives or servers, intranets or extranets, or closed in more specialised data management systems and knowledge management systems.
• Wikis are online so users can access, collaborate on, and share content, knowledge and files anytime, anywhere.
• Wikis are also exceptionally flexible.

Why use a wiki?
A wiki lets you and your teammates collaborate online. It's easy, efficient, and intuitive to use. Every user gets a voice and everyone's contribution is seen, heard, and can be commented upon.

• Wikis make it easy to keep all your information current and accurate.
• Information stored in wikis is dynamic. With wikis, anyone can edit a page so content is current.
• Wikis keep your information safe. It's virtually impossible to lose information. You can view changes made by different users or rollback to previous versions.
• Even as members of your team turn over and new members join, the wiki can be an unbroken repository of knowledge that evolves with your growing organisation.
