Using

...

a

...

tool

...

like

...

a

...

wiki,

...

or

...

similar

...

web-based

...

tool,

...

to

...

document

...

your

...

sakai

...

system

...

and

...

provide

...

support

...

information

...

allows

...

the

...

biggest,

...

if

...

not

...

the

...

deepest,

...

pool

...

of

...

information

...

about

...

your

...

sakai

...

system

...

to

...

contribute:

...

the

...

users.

...

It

...

also

...

allows

...

experts

...

to

...

spread

...

the

...

word

...

quickly,

...

without

...

gatekeepers.

...

The

...

constantly

...

evolving

...

nature

...

of

...

these

...

tools

...

and

...

the

...

scarce

...

resources

...

of

...

the

...

support

...

centres

...

create

...

a

...

need

...

to

...

be

...

responsive

...

and

...

incentive

...

to

...

seek

...

the

...

help

...

of

...

others.

...

Websites

...

like

...

Wikipedia.org

...

and

...

Mahalo.com

...

are

...

fast

...

to

...

respond,

...

quick

...

to

...

refine

...

and

...

are

...

rarely

...

irrelevant

...

or

...

insufficient

...

for

...

the

...

task.

...

The

...

two

...

major

...

factors

...

to

...

their

...

success

...

are

...

a

...

concerned

...

community

...

and

...

the

...

ease

...

of

...

updating

...

their

...

sites.

...

Attendees

...

of

...

this

...

sessions

...

will

...

learn

...

how

...

they

...

can

...

achieve

...

that

...

level

...

of

...

success

...

by

...

addressing

...

these

...

factors

...

at

...

their

...

institution.
