[MCN-L] wikis for project management

Hi Perian, I'm wondering why/if you decided against using a forum for this purpose? Is it the editing capabilities of the wiki? I used a forum for conference planning last year and it was like pulling teeth to get people on the site. Similar problems with the forum we used for a research cluster

[MCN-L] wikis in museums?

Hi all...I posted a similar message to the ASTC listserv and didn't get much response, which surprised me. So, thought I'd drop a line here. I'm looking for examples of wikis in a museum setting. For internal use? External with the public? Any and all examples would be appreciated. I'd love
