Wikis for Technical Communicators

Wikis are everywhere. We all know that wikis, such as Wikipedia, are found on the Internet. But they're also found on corporate and private intranets. They're even found on personal computers and PDAs. If we think of wikis as repositories of publicly edited information, we're only seeing part of the picture. How do individuals and private groups use wikis?

How does the growing use of wikis affect technical communicators like you and me? How do technology businesses deal with customer-contributed content about their products? How can you use Wiki Markup Language (WML) to improve the content you contribute to wikis?

This presentation answers these questions and many others.
