Oh? So you put something up without knowing if its

Really? Which 'Indian' community are you talking
about? Wikis are by far the most popular means of
putting up information on the internet, more so than
most other CMSs around. People know and have worked
with them - and even if not, its no rocket science.
Assimilation of information and putting it to use
depends on whether people have real NEED for it. Which
is what we were trying to establish in the first
place.

Uh yes. Why don't you provide further steps on how we
could possibly do that? Put them up on a wiki, maybe.

Golly, I *just might*. But only on this one.

Yes, You've hit the nail right on the head. Reasons
for usage. Establish those, and the wiki usage will
grow.

"Using it do things" includes reading it for whatever
purposes.

Lets just start first. And then decide whether its a
big start or a small start.
