developed within the wiki environment can be exported to the
required format. That is why I am concern about this issue.
Please, David, have you any experience with this particular?
Thanks.


I don't with this particular case. I suppose an academic
paper could
be co-developed via a wiki page quite well - start from
notes and end
up with a coherent and clearly-written paper.

(I know people who write their personal websites on wiki
software,
simply because it's less work than coding HTML by hand.)

One of the best keys to getting a wiki used is to use it as
a better
substitute for a group whiteboard or something. As I said,
it's good
for notes on common in-house business software and how to
install it
and get it to do particular things.

Essentially: find some function that a webpage anyone can
edit would
be a decent solution for.

huge number of places and to cope with this situations the
only way to promote the collaboration, share of knowledge
and production of freely accessible information/knowledge.


It's just a collaborative editing environment for text. Any
process
that could benefit from that could benefit from a wiki page.
