For those of you who are the administrators/facilitators of a group wiki:
The DARwiki has some hints and tips [1]for improving and promoting participation in community-based wikis. Some DOs and DON’Ts that are mentioned include:
-DON’T create empty pages
-DON’T do it all yourself
-DON’T over organize
-DO initiate a wiki project (focus on a specific page or set of pages for a limited time period)
-DO design a good FAQ for the wiki
Also check out Meredith Farkas’ (“Queen of Wikis”) comments [2] on these tips.
