Wiki Blog - Week 2

Along with the research in the previous blog entry, I have looked through the sources of another member of our group, Stuart, and found something that would help my aspect of the project.  In this article, labed "Wikis for Reference, Enthusiasts, and Government Information," there is a breakdown of the different levels of Wikis and their uses.  This is actually a very good guide for the way our project is laid out in general, but I will focus on my portion.  The article states:

"Trustworthy information on
Thomas Jefferson and his
world by Monticello researchers
and respected Jefferson
scholars. Only Thomas
Jefferson Encyclopedia community
scholars can write
and edit articles; however,
public users are encouraged
to submit comments on the
discussion pages."

This is very similar to the approach that I am researching, with only experts being able to write and edit the wiki pages.

As far as contributions to the group in general, not a lot has changed since last week.  I am still doing my best to coordinate group activities.  I recommended that we all have our sources by tomorrow's class so that we can compare and make sure we have enough pertinent information.  The way the plan is right now, I will still be doing proofreading when the time comes.
