Wikis for projects

A Wiki looks like a useful tool for managing a project that involves a number of people that need to share information. For example, the proposed refurbishment of the State Reference Library Reading Room. The people who are actually coordinating the work would have rights to add and amend information on the Wiki. There would have to be some ground rules, or etiquette, established to resolve misunderstandings and mishaps. Other staff could be granted read only access so they can keep up-to-date with developments.
