These are a community information sharing sites which can service a group ranging from several members to the whole network of the World Wide Web. I have found that in some ways these can be much easier to use than some other communal sites that I have encountered. The ability to share and edit documents, project information and ideas with others is very fascinating.
Like many communally edited data bases, verification of the accuracy of added information within the data base could be a problem when a large group is involved. Trust in your group members is necessary, therefore I would prefer to work only with small groups in which I am familiar with each member.
My knowledge and experience of the use of Wikis is very limited. I have used Wikipedia for searching information but have never tried to add or modify information.
I can see potential uses to which this system could be put that would improve and add value to my current use of the network. This would allow collaboration with others when trying to complete my family history, work on the modification or updating of documents in committees or producing reports.
