My review of the book Wikis for Dummies; I found this book to be just what I need to enhance my understanding of the Wiki movement. My current work involves creating a company wiki and this book was very helpful. My thanks to the authors, they made the subject matter easy to read and understand. They also provided helpful hints on how to inspire others to join in the creation of our wiki project.

I enjoyed reading this book; it's clear and well written, as you might expect from a title in the "Dummies" range. You won't need to read all of the book, particularly if you're not going to build your own Wiki, but it does provide a good overview of how and why Wikis are used.

you only have to read half of it - 2008-11-19

I learned everything I needed to know out of the first three chapters. Also has a nice chapter on managing a wiki. It's very clear, and an very approachable how-to book. Once you get the basics from this book, you'll discover that building a wiki is really pretty intuitive. But this is a good way to get started.

The book is like an encyclopedia for Wikis (dare I say a wikipedia)... History and information. This is probably the best book I have bought on the topic in the last year.

It is very creative in the suggestions for uses of wikis.

Good basic resource - 2008-12-28
