The final assignment of my online wikis class is to use one of the demonstrated wiki software pachages/services to create your own wiki on the topic of your choice. As you can guess, when teaching librarians, most of the results will be library related. Then there’s the example shown here. This has got to be the most amusing and most creative examples of a wiki I’ve even seen. The author says she wasy “just being silly” but hopes to get the rest of her family involved. (I did get permission to post this and have blanked out the indetifying information. Also, the wiki is password protected so posting the URL wouldn’t do any good.)
