Now we're talking!I'm already quite involved with the Bodleian Libraries expansion into the wonderful world of wikis. I created the CDC wiki (see right) - registered, created and edited pages, made it look pretty, invited folk and maintain it - and manage the RLSSG wiki. The CDC wiki was created on Wetpaint which initially worked fine, but now users are finding it very difficult to invite new members, which is very frustrating. There's a discussion on one of their forums about it here, for anyone else experiencing problems on this site. In addition, there are lots of very unpleasant adverts that keep popping up at inopportune moments, which can make for quite awkward moments in CDC meetings when using the projector for all to see.
Wikispaces, however, is much better and, so far, we've had no problems with it.
I'm very much in favour of shared spaces; shared accountability and democracy can only be a good thing, as far as I'm concerned!
