In de weblog Conversations with Dina met als ondertitel Creative Chaos las ik het stuk ‘Using Wikis – Letting go of my Wiki Bogeyman’ over het in teamverband werken met wiki en de wiki bogeyman.

… I’ve also been reflecting on how difficult it is to get someone unfamiliar with tools like blogs and wikis to buy into the ‘systems’. I think we’re missing something here by calling them blogs and wikis and all the terminology associated with them. They sound so geeky and can put a person off when she has to find her way through so many pages, and its unclear what these terms mean in simple English.These are our platforms, they are our tools, they are our networks – am not sure they are what we, as consultants should aim to sell to clients. People buy refrigerators not compressors or Joule Kelvin expansion, they buy computers, not silicon chips. …The other lesson i have learnt to make the tech-bogeyman go away, is to simply get in there and play. The beauty of blogs and wikis is you can undo and redo stuff as many times as you wish. Even broken links aren’t such a nightmare. The other day in a conversation with Kenneth from Seedwiki, we were talking about opportunities. He pointed me to WikiFish which is a neat example of starting with a small team, a small project, engaging a much wider group and building upon it as it emerges.I think i am beginning to let go of my wiki-bogey-man
