Summary
This book provides practical, proven advice for encouraging adoption of your wiki project and growing it into a useful collaboration tool or vibrant online community: it gives wiki users a toolbox of thriving wiki patterns, which enable newcomers to avoid making common mistakes or fumbling around for the solutions to the same problems as their predecessors; explains the major stages of wiki adoption and explores patterns that apply to each stage; presents concrete, proven examples of techniques that have helped people grow vibrant collaborative communities and change the way they work for the better; reviews the overall process, including setting up initial content, encouraging people to contribute, dealing with disruptive elements, fixing typos and broken links, making sure pages are in their correct categories, and more.
