Wikis can be a great way to pool information. We use one for the Metro Virtual Reference SIG and, although I haven’t contributed to it, I refer to it a lot since I can’t go to all of the meetings. While the greatest danger with wikis is the fact that anyone can pretty much add whatever they want, in most cases rudeness or inappropriateness is quickly recognized and challenged by the community itself.
I edited a few entries on wikihow: mostly just spelling mistakes. It’s remarkably easy and I like that it just registers your ip address so I don’t have to give them any personal info or sign up for anything.
