[Mediawiki-l] how to organize wiki content

[Hiram Clawson]

That's a great idea.  But now we are back to an even more fundamental difficulty.
I'm trying to convert users from their current paradigm of sharing information
via attached WORD DOCs in email to large lists of readers, to keeping their shared
documents in the wiki.  The barest hint of trying to learn any new markup is
a stumbling block to begin with.  Attempting to enforce semantic markup conventions in
a random group of users seems impossible without a dedicated team of annotators.

It is really tough trying to get folks to share information.
