YOU guys (Lion and the small army of dedicated fanatics who develop this incredible stuff) have been using this for years and get it - intuitively. You live, eat, and breathe it (e.g. RecentChangesCamp). My intent is to promote what you guys have done an incredible job of creating - simple, seamless, enjoyable collaboration - to an audience that really needs it.

The irony here is that RecentChangesCamp was about 50/50 tech and non-tech, judging by the topics . Yes, we likely had more than 50% technical people, but the non-techies (like myself) that were there weren’t just add-ons, they were essential. The full name of the conference was RecentChangesCamp: BuildingCommunitiesThatMatter.

Geri at the Good News Network has a new wiki now.
Julie and Laure at the Emerging Futures Foundation have a new wiki now.

Yes, everyone at the event is passionate, but not necessarily about tech or on-line stuff. So Kris, don’t underestimate your audience. Once they find a reason to use a wiki, they’ll do it. Not because it’s tech and cutting edge, but because it’s the best way to get the job done.
