size=2>The nice thing about the wiki is that it becomes like an OS on line, a
chat room on each report topic. Participants <SPAN

present physically can <SPAN class=531292515-14022006>continue
</SPAN>interact<SPAN class=531292515-14022006>ing</SPAN> electronically after
the group discussion and even after the OS. <SPAN

with wiki</SPAN> was in the naming of reports especially with people used

without paying any attention to <SPAN class=531292515-14022006>the verbal
and written </SPAN>instructions about naming the report. This made it <SPAN
class=531292515-14022006>much </SPAN>harder to track which reports where
completed<SPAN class=531292515-14022006> so they could be printed for the News

to change the report before the News Room prints a copy <SPAN

Book of reports. On the printed version, there is no way to see that someone has
changed the original report. This can cause a bit of frustration on the part of
the initiator who took responsibility to communicate the group's discussion and
can see his or her name attached - without their knowing - to a document that is
not reflective of their work.<SPAN class=531292515-14022006> On the screen, one
can verify what changes have been made but when reading the reports for

<DIV>Hi everyone,</DIV>
<DIV>I recently attended the RecentChangesCamp Open Space in Portland. It was
facilitated by Michael Herman and we used an online wiki to compile the book
of procedings (there were a lot of wiki folks at the conference). This was the
first Open Space I've been to where we've even used the banks of computers so
I have nothing to contrast the experience to. Does anyone have any thoughts on
the pros and cons of wiki vs. floppy/usb? </DIV>
<DIV>Peace,</DIV>
<DIV>Frank Deitle</DIV>* *
