I had never really used a wiki before until library school. In my metadata class we used a wiki to index alumni magazines. It was pretty cool. We made up the vocabulary and developed narrower, broader, and related terms as well as "see also"s and scope notes. These are some of the ones I indexed: Sela Ward and USA Today's Academic Team.
When I took over Resource of the Month, I developed a wiki so that we can all brainstorm ideas and topics without having to physically meet. It's difficult trying to find a time that we can all meet! So far the ROTM wiki has worked pretty well. I still send an email to everybody whenever I update the wiki though. I should probably know this, but can you subscribe to a wiki with RSS? I've been toying with the idea of making the ROTM webpage into a wiki, but I haven't done it yet. Right now I'm experimenting with making ROTM a blog instead. That way, all the previous ROTMs will be right there on the same page...very organized--I hope!
