I've not used Wikis personally but I think that Google Docs are a great
way to collaborate. The only thing that would concern me is an issue
that was raised when I was discussing this forum with someone last
night. I have accounts with most of the major social media providers and
understand and accept the privacy issues surrounding them. The concern
raised was, is it fair to ask people to sign up for these accounts for
work purposes when they could be used to track a persons details, search
preferences etc.? Not really too much to do with the current thread of
discussion but an interesting point I think.
