Put Your Wiki to Productive Use

mediawiki.jpgIf you liked last month's post on using wikis at work but wished for more than five paltry suggestions, Web Worker Daily offers up 15 of them, all of them devoted to productivity. For example:

Project management. A wiki can be a great way to plan and manage a project, from conception to completion. Assign tasks, make a timeline, add notes, paste images and other media -- whatever you need for a project, there's no simpler way to organize it all.

Reference. Got a list, document, codes, instructions, etc. that you need to refer to regularly? Keep it here on your wiki, so you never have to go looking again.

I like to think of wikis as online filing cabinets where you can store anything you want and organize it using whatever method works best for you. Not sure which wiki software to choose? The granddaddy of all wikis (Wikipedia, natch) has an exhaustive chart comparing a couple dozen options. Meanwhile, tell us what kind of wiki you're using and how you're using it!
