Eris talking now:

Ken and Tree are both half right! Wikipedia is a specific instance of a
wiki, and Tree is right that our cohousing-specific stuff would get kind
of lost there. BUT Ken is on the right track, that wikis can be useful
for organizing cohousing stuff! FrogSong has a wiki-based community
manual with lot of our policies, committee info, etc. It is
password-protected so I can't show it to you. But any member can go in
and edit/update/add info.  For more info on
wikis:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
