one of the Wiki Types; see WikiWikiWeb:TeamWiki
Using Wiki For Collaboration Ware, I usually start off with a TeamWiki, which might have info about multiple projects in it.
In theory, if there's are some projects where I write in enough detail that Wiki Name-s will collide (e.g. lists of User Stories), I spin off a Project Wiki for each.
In reality, this hasn't happened to me. I see a Project Wiki as more likely to be appropriate when it involves subsets of the members of multiple teams coming together.
I run a hosting service Teamflux Com at http://www.teamflux.com/
Hmm, what are the differences between running a TeamWiki for a Creative Network vs a Social Network?
What should be in a TeamWiki?
Miss Ion for the project
page for each bit of the Shared Language that helps members communicate
task list, or at least a couple levels of deliverables - each item should be a Wiki Name to spin off a new page
Operations Manual documenting every job (that gets done more than once)
- page for each team member
which should be named to match their username id/cookie (so that Recent Changes links to them)
- all members should use that naming when referring to that person (in wiki and in email)
- each page often becomes a prioritized task list for that person, again spinning off individual pages
plus those pages act like a Scratch Pad where wiki-newbies feel more comfortable writing and spinning off new pages.
TeamfluxCom:WaysToUseThis
<hr>
I'm wondering whether there's a need for a Virtual Community of the developers, admins, evangelists, and plain old users of TeamWiki spaces.
A lot of meta-Wi Ki sites focus on the mode of having a wiki which is open to editing by everyone. Meatball Wiki, etc.
I'm more interested in the use of wiki by a Tel Ic collection of people. This doesn't have to be a business team, but I think the membership Mem Brane needs to be only semi-porous, if there's going to be any progress, Coher Ence.
Other groups that are close but different in focus:
What would the goals of such a group be?
To evangelize the use of TeamWiki spaces, so that there are more effective and enjoyable teams to join.
To push developers and users toward a set of Best Practices:
- what to do in the wiki and how
when to set up multiple wikis, and how to relate the two (Wiki Web, Overlapping Scopes Of Collaboration, Sub Wiki, Sister Sites)
how to work integrate with other media (Email Discussion Beside Wiki, App Wiki)
Wiki Engine features needed to support such practices: Wiki Standards, etc.
Would this interest anyone?
<b>Very much Interested</b> --2003/11/21 03:46 GMT<br> There is a significant set of wiki users / evangelists that live behind corporate firewalls. There doesn't seem to be enough thinking about how to do this well. Would be nice to think through how to get a wiki started for teams too. There are a whole host of management objections I typically run into that we could address as a community a lot more effectively. --Ed Taekema - http://www.pycs.net/users/0000177/2003/11/19.html#P93
