Wikis in Plain English

From the people who brought you RSS in Plain English (see here for our post on it), Common Craft, brings you Wikis in Plain English. So, if you need to explain wikis to a bunch of lawyers, you might want to start here.

And don’t dismiss wikis in law firms. They are gaining press and acceptance (see here and here). The innovators — those cutting-edge firms out there — will experiment and come up with ways to exploit this technology.

If your firm is like many large firms, the Information Technology (or Information Services) department has you locked down. They might claim that such technologies are “against firm policy.” Time for some good old fashioned circumvention. Wikis are web-based (most of them, anyway), so there is no local installation and no server.
