My review of the book Wikis for Dummies; I found this book to be just what I need to enhance my understanding of the Wiki movement. My current work involves creating a company wiki and this book was very helpful. My thanks to the authors, they made the subject matter easy to read and understand. They also provided helpful hints on how to inspire others to join in the creation of our wiki project.
 Good for the basics, plus some unnecessary stuff November 6, 2007

This provides a solid overview of the history, general functions, and common uses of Wikis, and for that I am glad that I read it. One thing that I didn't consider until after I bought it -- and was using a few wikis already -- was that a great deal of the information was engine-specific. PBWiki was a common example throughout the book, but I don't use PBWiki, and I don't like the interface (I guess I got used to Wikispaces, which works perfectly for me). So although there was a great deal of good information about what I can do with a wiki, so much of the how wasn't useful to me, since I'll have to go learn the particulars of my engine of choice, rather than the ones in the book.
