What Do People Get Out Of Wiki
What use is Wiki to those who use it?
- Probing new ideas
- Learning about new things
- DesignPatterns, and project management patterns, including ExtremeProgramming. (This is the PortlandPatternRepository, after all.)
- ExtremeProgramming and other LightweightMethodologies.
- Refactoring of code/design, with and without XP. (WikiPagesAboutRefactoring, RefactoringLanguage)
- Discussing other (usually technical) topics of general interest to the current audience.
- Experiencing this new medium and trying to figure it out!
- Training and experiencing CollectiveIntelligence and CollectiveLove
- PersonalInformationManagement, by using a PersonalWiki
- Discussion of exercise & nutrition, although it annoys some purists who would like to see Wiki remain centered on programming topics
