When you sign up to the Local Government & Municipal Knowledge Base you also sign up to Wikidot (the company that hosts the site), and Wikidot members are automatically eligible for 5 free wikis.
Most people that sign up to LGAM don't bother using any of their free wikis. This (IMHO) is a bit of a shame because it is easy to do, and a personal wiki can be a very handy.
I have set up a heap of wikis, for personal use, work and community projects, including:
- Bundaberg AMP Development Wiki
- Bundaberg Tennis
- Bundaberg Community Kindergarten (Which my darling wife has done most of the work on)
- A personal website
- A family tree
And a couple of other LGAM Members have set up the wikis of their own, including:
The above wikis are all public wikis, but you can also create private wikis, that only select people can view.
I think web-based collaboration is going to get more and more important in the next few years, and even if you aren't interested enough in Local Government to justify contributing to this site, I believe getting the hang of wikis in general will be useful to you both personally & professionally. So give it a go - start a wiki today!
