atw: Re: Sharepoint user docs wiki

Wikis and Sharepoint have the same Achilles heel in user buy in but for
document sharing, for example, they're useful. Getting people to post
blog posts, or even to comment, is fraught for the same reason that
cyberspace is replete with anonymous commenters. Why would you stick
your neck out with an honest appraisal of a topic if all and sundry will
be able to read it forever and know it is you? Safer to wait for a
meeting, where it'll probably not get into the minutes.

Hello

 

My organisation (state govt) is considering implementing Sharepoint and
I've been dragged in for the requirements gathering process. In a
previous life, I attempted to demonstrate Sharepoint's suitability as a
means of handling training administration without tears, but am now more
interested in its wiki for user documentation, discussion forums for
user groups etc. 

 

Does anyone have any experience with this application of Sharepoint and
want to a) knock some sense into me, b) give me some good news stories
to encourage me to proceed.  I have enough on my plate as it is and am
trying to quickly evaluate whether I should continue my involvement with
this project or not. Any war stories would be greatly appreciated.

 

Jasmine
