Wiki: Web Collaboration Review by S. Weidman
Not worth the investment - of time or money
I was looking for either some tips and tricks or a well-organized presentation of information from the trences. You know....something useful to make it worth the relatively high price; something detailed and tangible to help me implement and administer a wiki.
Instead, I found the book to be an awkwardly-flowing collection of what you can readily - and freely - find on the web. I did not find any value add.
If you want high-level stuff in one place and are not looking for details, it does provide a good overview of 3 wiki products and some philosophical musings.
By default, the information will be out of date. And - assuming you're working with one of the products (MediaWiki, TWiki, or Confluence), you might get some value from the approximately one-third of the book that deals with that particular product.
This is a compilation from multiple authors...and it shows.
Save your money for something more enjoyable or useful. You will generally find more current info that is just as - if not more - usable for free out on the web.
