There was a post on Media Guerrilla with a link to a BusinessWeek article about Wikis in the workplace.  Even though I work on a small team at work I really think that some sort of collaboration tool would be useful.  I tried a few open source solutions like netoffice, but getting people to use them is the problem.

With a possible security audit looming maybe a wiki would be a good way to get some documentation put together.  I have thought about internal blogs too, but I need to present them correctly so people don't laugh at the words I will be throwing at them.

Me:  "I think a good way to keep everyone in the know on our projects would be to use a collaboration tool like a Wiki."

Them:  "Wiki huh?  Like a wiki torch?  What would we do, pass it around to tell who should be talking?"

Me:  "No, that it a tiki torch and our safety guy wouldn't like that.  I am talking about an intranet page that any of us can edit."

Them:  "That doesn't sound secure."

Me:  "It will be internal."

Them:  "80% of hacks are from the inside."

Me:  "I hate statistics."
