Wikis

I have used wikis on and off as a a source of information. Generally I do not edit the information that I am viewing and this was one of the first times I have done so in the APSU23Things sandbox. I was surprised as to how easy it was to change http://apsu23thingssandbox.pbworks.com/Photos-and-Images and I can understand as to why there are different levels of contribution for wikis and that there is the ability to save the history. All it takes is one person to post incorrect information and the rest of the site becomes suspect.

One of the things I did for this thing was to watch the wiki in plain english and the idea of using a wiki for camping floored me. Everything it talked about that happens with emails has happened to us as we have tried to arrange camping trips though email and I can vouch it is highly annoying. I think that it would be an excellent idea to create one to see if it helps with the next camping trip.

Being one that is always up for a challenge I found a wiki site that I could use for free for the camping trip organisation and set one up. while basic just now I hope to improve it over time.
