I wrote the plans, outlines, and multiple drafts on a public wiki that was available for review, edits, and comments. 65 people participated on the wiki, though the vast majority of the activity came from a core group of 15 (more on that below).

In addition to the volunteers who signed up to help on the wiki, I directly solicited sixteen professionals in the field who I respect to provide feedback on particular chapters (or This is the first of a four-part series on the behind-the-scenes experience of writing The Participatory Museum .

The Association Social Media Wiki is up and buzzing again! It's a wiki - so add yourself, if you work for an association and you guys undertake any kind of activity in the social space - social networks, wikis, podcasts, blogs, videos, photosharing, anything! Super kudos to Lindy Dreyer , who revamped the whole site AND created a super fresh video on the main page to help walk you through how to add yourself to the wiki. I am so excited. Check out all these fellow associations using social media .

Now, for the next tool of my affection: wikis . A couple of months ago Laura Quinn, our Executive Director, asked me look into using a wiki to help with version control when having people review our upcoming Field Guide to Software for Nonprofits: Fundraising, Outreach, and Communications. I did a little bit of research first, reading Peter Campbell's post on how wikis are becoming more relevant than (gasp!) I, like most nonprofit staffers I imagine, both love my job and always have a mountain of work to get through. So, with that in mind, I am always looking

I've mostly used wikis as a personal portfolio and have participated in community or collaborative wikis facilitated by others. I've been a participant in design discussions about wiki projects, but never the main architect.
The materials would be used for face-to-face workshops where adult learners there would use the wiki as a resource - and perhaps add to it. I have a project coming up where I'm thinking through a collaborative design for say - curriculum development, a repository for existing instructional materials,and to leverage knowledge from a group

I fear they’ll come out in no particular order, but you’re invited to help me knock this into shape by commenting below. I’ll also set up a wiki ( Update: here’s the link ).
Right, need to set up that wiki…
I thought it was about time to re-visit the role of the “buzz director” - flesh out the role I first floated last October.
This is especially urgent given that much of the action is now taking place away from your own (increasingly irrelevant ) website, ‘out there’, in social networks and online

The goal of this wiki is to provide a source for strategies and tools in the social media sphere specifically for NONPROFITS. Building the curriculum in a networked way on a wiki and offering it through a creative commons license will allow nonprofit practitioners to share ideas and avoid duplication. We Are Media will: * Pull together a wide variety of individuals who will collectively help contribute ideas and pointers to content that is meaningful to the nonprofit leaders and staffers who are charged with integrating social media into their communications strategy

thought about that story when I saw Dave Cormier's Connectivism Wiki or MOOC (Massive Online Open Courses). The philosophy is: I'd suggest we follow the ADD DON'T TAKE AWAY model of wiki building.
Just disagreeable topic with your opinion. So, I asked Dave via Twitter " Wow do you build a giving culture on a wiki?" If you have kids, you probably also read bedtime stories to them. In our house, we've read everything from Horton Hears a Who to Good Night Moon.
