I've been following Rhiannon's work with the BPMA wiki with interest
because, as I've mentioned to a few people before, we're launching a
wiki project at the Science Museum too.
I've written an initial bit about the project on my blog:
http://www.frankieroberto.com/weblog/863, but I'll be writing more
about our motivations, and experiences, over the coming months.
Meanwhile, you can check out the wiki now at
http://objectwiki.sciencemuseum.org.uk. We're not formally launching
it for another month or so, but it's live and public now.
I'd like to hope that we're not producing the wiki just for the sake
of it, but there is definitely an element of trial involved. Our main
hope is that we can develop further information and personal stories
about our objects by collaborating with our audiences.
