 Once people are comfortable using the wiki, you can help them explore how to apply it to their work. Discuss projects, tasks, knowledge for critical processes, etc. that could make use of the wiki. Find out what's most important for the group to do their jobs well, and if possible where they feel information flow, collaboration, etc. is weak. This gives you specific instances to demonstrate how the wiki can meet their most important needs. Once people are comfortable using the wiki, you can help them explore how to apply it to their work.

 For example, a department might start by putting meeting agendas on the wiki before each staff meeting. Anyone in the department can add a new item, add additional information about an existing item, or delete something that's no longer relevant to the meeting. For example, a department might start by putting meeting agendas on the wiki before each staff meeting.

-During the meeting, people can take notes as items are discussed, effectively taking meeting minutes right on the wiki. From here, items that turn into projects or initiatives can be given their own space on the wiki for project management and collaboration, and the wiki becomes a **[[:magnet|Magnet]]** for all manner of collaborative work.+During the meeting, people can take notes as items are discussed, effectively taking meeting minutes right on the wiki.

-As you set up new pages, create a **[[:scaffold|Scaffold]]** , or template to guide people on what to put on the page. The scaffold can be as simple as a set of section headings, or it can be brief guidelines so people can see what types of information to include.+As you set up new pages, create a [[:scaffold|Scaffold]], or template to guide people on what to put on the page.

 When someone asks for information that you know is on the wiki, email a link to the appropriate wiki page. This helps people get in the habit of looking at the wiki, and increases the value of the wiki to each person because they can collaborate with more people via the wiki than email. When someone asks for information that you know is on the wiki, email a link to the appropriate wiki page.
