[Year 12 IT Apps] VCE study design - a different topic - I promise!

[Mark KELLY]

A wiki's an interesting idea, Margaret, but I wonder whether - in this case
- it would thrive.  Wikis are valuable for consolidating and aggregating
disparate information sources, but in this case is it possible that a wiki
could actually do the opposite: split an existing and authoritative
information nexus (this list) into two competing sources?

People would either post their thoughts to the list, or the wiki but I doubt
many of those people would have the time or inclination to post to both.

I realise that a mailing list like this is a very different animal to a wiki
- each tool has its strengths and weaknesses. The success of the wiki would
depend on what it was primarily intended to achieve... discussion or
collaborative resource development.  Its charter would need to be carefully
thought out to avoid a possible identity crisis.

Regards
Mark
