size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The wiki is a good idea as a knowedge tree
to digest or farm information but I wonder about its value for getting a message
out to all staff. I had a similar problem, how best to work out an e-version of
our staff daily bulletin. In the end, I created an area called Staff and
organised school staff within into groups called Teachers / SSO / Other. A News
forum enables e-mail messages to be posted to all the staff and a Principal
bulletin allows for a daily bulletin to be posted to all the college staff. I
tortured myself over this but in the end decided to turn off the reply and post
options for everybody but the admin team and office staff. We have other forums
for social chat, footy tipping, professional learning teams tc but they are
opt-in and small groups rather than spam for all. <BR><BR>Regards
