Further Wikis

This blog covers wikis other than Wikipedia; this is by far the most used of wikis, and most people don't even know that other wikis exist. The three that I am going to talk about are as follows; the Science Museum wiki is a wiki created by the Science Museum. The website contains information about objects held in the museum’s public collections. However, the information is editable and expandable; expansion is encouraged, with links to edit pages easily available. The second wiki is called ThinkWiki, a wiki dedicated to a series of notebooks called Lenovo Thinkpads. It contains useful information on drivers and patches, HOWTO's (installation, information recovery etc.), hardware and other information. There is, however, not a great deal of textual information on this wiki; instead, there are more programs, applications and add-ons. The third and final wiki that I am looking at was created by The Auburn School University of Architecture. This Wiki serves to protect the delicate Collaborative environment of Design studio culture, and to serve as a protocol and reference guide to keep these balances in check.
