wikis

I've thought about creating a pediatrics wiki with the Child Health residents that I work with. We could build it based on the cases reviewed in MR.

I worry that the wiki wouldn't be udated regualrly and would contain inaccurate information. Maintenance is a huge issue. It seems to me that you have to have a lot of people working on a big wiki to make it useful.

We use wikis for our committee work here. It works out rather well. People can add and subtract content as needed. Typing in the wiki during the meeting has its good points and its bad points. It is good because all of the information is recorded right away and it saves someone from taking detailed minutes. It's bad because it is sometimes distracting and people get into wordsmithing the wiki during the meeting.
