| | Wiki evangelists will tell you that wikis are great because they're the simplest thing that works. If this is your first time using a wiki, that may sound crazy to you. However easy wikis may be, they aren't very polished and that makes them seem unwelcoming. The most important thing to remember about using a wiki is that a wiki is a community. This means that no single person needs to know how to do everything, or even most things. In fact, chances are that if you can figure out how to throw text up, somebody else can figure out how to make it look right.

| − | : ''The U.S. labor movement is proud of its history and strength as a top-down organization, with a clear chain of command. In fact, you can’t talk to anyone in union public affairs (the equivalent of private-sector public relations) without hearing the inevitable phrase “chain of command” in response to a question. And that’s the problem for the union, when it comes to new media and bottom-up messaging: How can it join the communications revolution when it can’t organizationally grasp the democratization of media with blogs, online video and podcasting? '''(and wikis)''' - ([http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2006/11/digging_deeperpentagon_pr_blog.html reference])''

| − | === Why I learned to stop worring and love the wiki ===
| |
| − | : ''A wiki, you see, is the voice and platform of the worker, and there are many, many more workers than managers. A wiki is a way for workers to organize themselves and to serve their own needs without waiting for the boss, the manager, or the Encyclopedia Britannica to do it. ([http://recentchanges.info/?p=78 reference])''

| − | : Introduction of the idea of this UnionWiki as a place to begin to have a conversation of what a UnionWiki is or can be. He is a strong advocate of OpenEdit wiki technology, because it is a community solution, not a technological one. But there are technological parts to a wiki. The first one, is that you have to click "edit" and type words and save. Please try that at the [[Sandbox]]. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
