If we carefully scope what's there, and review for material that doesn't need (or no longer needs) that secrecy, it can be useful. I think muc hof the material that is posted on smaller-group wikis (committees, individual chapters, &c) could be shared among all chapters and movement entities on the internal wiki. If everyone finds private things they currently work on which could benefit from being shared on internal, it will find life and purpose. Worth a discussion among people who use other private wikis. I know I would like to use *fewer* private wikis, not more. [and right now I only use the Board wiki. But some of that material would be ok on internal, and some of it - including the drafting of many of our resolutions - would be fine to do in public on meta] Florence writes: >> has it ever been considered to set up something dedicated to actually host >> contact information ? A wiki table works, and is simple, for small groups. A more structured solution could work for our entire larger social network... we already use CiviCRM heavily in other ways.
