Additional posts for Wikis < exploring alternative wikis to wikispaces

For ISYS2441, Information and Knowledge Environments 2, we have to do a group wiki.  We've had a bit of trouble getting started, you can view our progress to date here http://ike2.wikispaces.com/

As I can't load pictures on this blog, the work around that I have come up with is posting via twitpic.com Here are some additional tweets about wikis.

Information and Knowledge Environments 2 Wiki

Here is a link to a group wiki (using wikispaces platform) that I am needing to create for another subject http://ikermit.wikispaces.com/

Wikipedia Account

I also already have an account on Wikipedia, but cannot seem to access it from University.  I get this error message.

Cannot create account

I think someone has been playing funny buggers :)

This photo from this the wikipedia article on Ashworth Improvement Plan was one that I added.   That was a good piece of content that I found and adding it lead to an bit of extra conversation on the railway forum site Rail Page Australia.
