I am looking at using a wiki – but am worried that my site I do will end up as half cocked and messy as most sites here. I’ve been trying to look for good example sites and find 98% junk.

It creates the feeling that wiki’s are easy to set up but hard to get beyond the “good idea” stage.

So i suggest you create a further sub class of wiki – that of working wiki – which is a in use tool – and play wiki – which is for people to experiment with.

There are lots of wikis – free and paid for – and they are easy to get started. I started 4 yesterday to play with and find out about the features.

I am afraid these will rot on cyber space now until doomsday.

I need to see examples of top sites, not have to wade though 100’s of students woefully incomplete work!, to help me form an opinion.

I further suggest that you can CHARGE for the transition from play to working site – a nominal amount – as $20 – annually – this can pay for some feature like making the site self login (and by implication making the unpaid, play site invitation only).

By the way – the feature I am looking to see are emedded video ( so I can add little training to my pages, skypme to people can phone me, photos showing whats possible and imaginative style themes.

Well, you can look at my personal wiki: http://roe.wik.is or this non-profit: http://wiki.sdsic.org/ or a more elaborate example that uses MindTouch software: http://wiki.amplifysd.org or a more recent demo space: http://mugglepedia.com .

In fact, there are millions of examples on the Internet of “good” wiki sites.
