You'd be the one to answer: are documents in a wiki a problem for dial-up
access?
I'd not consider documents in a wiki to be a problem just because of dial-up.
I have observed, however, that in almost every case in projects I'm interested
in, that wiki documentation has been mostly worthless -- but that's a rant
for another day. I'm willing to be convinced otherwise, of course (by the
presence of fantastic wiki-based documents).
We could go on and on about wikis in general. I still believe that done
right, it's a great way to document a project and have some interactive
comments. For example, I used a wiki entry to document model run
success, failure and completion times for an air quality project I've
been working on. Same project, our human forecasts are posted each
cycle to the wiki. We maintain documentation of what we need and don't
authorize just any user to show up and modify it. Worked pretty well.
IF you don't control access, things tend to get a bit frenetic. New
wiki topics sprout up without cause, reason or rhyme. Changes
unreflective of reality appear from ID10Ts. Well meaning folk who
shouldn't be allowed off Atari's (remember them?) make mods based on
their experience with a release that's not even maintained in CVS
because the punch cards don't read anymore. 'Nuff said.
