RE: Wiki, Great Idea

I'm "with" D.H. on not duplicating work done
elsewhere. That said, I took a
controversial topic-RFID - and compared it on both
"LIS" wikis. The
differences (and similarities) are interesting. These are
hardly nonpartisan
fact sheets, and are good examples of "ye shall be
known by your footnotes."
Having some familiarity with the subject, I felt both pages
were profoundly,
well, wrong, sometimes to comical effect.

What both pages also have in common is they don't include
any discussion of
interoperability and standards, even though that is a very
big development
in the RFID world.

anyway... that's a tangent from "do we need another
wiki."

Thanks K.G. You didn't add whether you've updated the
entries in those two
wikis so they at least reference RFID interoperability and
standards.
Another subscriber told me of a third site, which includes a
wiki, called
libsite.org, http://libsite.org, a site
specifically built for users to
submit, discuss, and rate library Web sites" created
by
http://chicagolibrarian.
com/ (Leo Robert Klein).
