-===== INTRO ===== 
- 
-  * Who are you? 
-  * Do you currently wiki? If not - why not?  
-  * Who am I? 
- 
-===== Some things about the Coop ===== 
- 
-  * We're not a library.  
-  * We have a lot of tech-savvy people on staff. 
-  * We do open source as exclusively as possible  
-  * We are super cost-aware, don't like to spend when we don't have to \\

- 
-===== Why Wiki? ===== 
- 
-  * Easy collaborative document editing and creation but... 
-  * Works [[https://wiki.libraries.coop/doku.php?id=cooperative:users:sleslie:start|just as well for the individual]] 
-  * "[[https://www.slideshare.net/mcannonbrookes/organisational-wiki-adoption/10-Simple_contextual_content_More_archival|More archival than email, less process that Word]]" 
-  * Easy search and browse 
-  * Improve transparency and help reduce silos 
-  * Anticipate knowledge growth even before it happens 
-  * For changeable info, likely the best approach (cf https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/e138/f96aedcb18893a87bd22d95d3914db4d22ae.pdf)  
- 
-===== Why DOKUWIKI? ===== 
- 
-  * Open source, mature, lots of plugins - https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugins 
-  * Document based, not database 
-  * Git backed, which means key staff can have an offline version of the wiki on their laptops 
-  * Ability to move pages and namespaces (means you don't have to get it perfect the first time) 
- 
-===== Why DOKUWIKI? Part II ===== 
-  * Access control - can control both visibility and edit-ablity; can include public sections (such as this page!) 
-  * Re-skinning; the nav bars are actually wiki pages! https://wiki.libraries.coop/doku.php?id=sidebar 
-  * Easily embed other content  
-     * [[https://wiki.libraries.coop/doku.php?id=cooperative:coop_calendars|calendars]] 
-      [[https://wiki.libraries.coop/doku.php?id=cooperative:users:sleslie:start|list of google docs in a folder]] 
-  * Can host structured data and offer alternative ways to use it? https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:data:list_of_employees 
- 
- 
- 
-===== How we made it work ===== 
- 
-  * If you already have one, with even a few people using it - don't kill it, build on it! 
-  * Redesign can help + "a bit" of info architecture 
-  * Wiki Gardening! together and separately 
-  * Focus on "collaboration" not "publishing", folksonomy (+search) not taxonomy 
-  * If a good exchange has happened elsewhere (IRC, email) suggest a wiki entry as a result 
-  * Keep it as open as possible - we have public/private distinction, but after that try not to create too many internal groups 
- 
- 
- 
-===== Is wiki always the way? NO ===== 
- 
-  * Very small groups/locations - a binder may make a ton more sense 
-  * Non-volatile information - may not be the best way to handle official policy docs you don't want edited 
- 
-===== Thanks! =====
