Comments on Wikis

I have had a look at some wikis and often use Wikipedia on the Reference Desk at work. Wikitravel is also handy to recommend to borrowers if the travel guide they are looking for is not available.

It would be great to start a wiki for our Friends of Maroochydore Library Inc group. They could all add information to discuss at their next meeting if they had an agenda wiki or if they are having a book sale they could place a timesheet on the wiki and people could add their names where it suites them.

I like this photo taken in Bali. The caption says it was originally the home of a master sculptor, and is now a private museum at the Alila Ubud Hotel. I intend to visit it on my next visit!
