In the beginning was the document.
Theyve been around for a while
The Good Good for formal communication Universal Format (according to Microsoft) Print really well
The Bad Documents are formal Not great for multiple-author collaboration Finding information in documents is not easy
And then there was email
Email Pros Easy.  Minimal formatting required Fast.  Have a thought, bang it out, off it goes Universal. Everyone has an email address
Email Cons Too much of a good thing Poor for documenting decisions Knowledge gets locked inside inboxes
Wiki is Best of Both Worlds Low barrier to content creation Shared knowledge archive Easily findable
