Thing #17: Using PBWiki

PBWiki has steadily become more user-friendly - you used to have to use some coding, and that pretty much ruled out use by lots of people. There may be easier wiki tools out there, and Google Sites has some interesting potential. But overall, I like it very much.

There are lots of uses for wikis at work. We are collaborating all the time, and spending a lot of time emailing documents back and forth, and probably losing track of them. Departmental wikis are a great way to keep track of happenings and documents within a department. Hopefully our next iteration of OceanNet will have collaboration features similar to wikis - this is definitely the trend in corporate intranets.
