>(Is a message board at all like a wiki?)
You know, this whole wiki thing is one of those areas that I just
don't get. Bruce has shown us Twiki at a MELBA meeting, I've poked
around on our wiki that Bruce has set up, and a few others, and I
*still* don't get it.
What is it that people find so useful about these things? I find
them more confusing and irritating than anything, and I'm sure it's
because I just don't understand how they're *supposed* to be used.
To me, FAQ-O-Matic is far more useful; it's hierarchical, it's quite
structured, and can be used to disseminate information in a very
straightforward and logical manner. I don't see that with wikis.
And no, FAQ-O-Matic is not just restricted to FAQs or Q&A form, you
can use it however you wish.
Can someone please explain to me what I'm missing about wikis?
I'd really like to understand it, especially if I can use it to my
advantage :)
Thanks!
