Think about this: 1- What is the point of evangelizing the open-ness of wikis, if you then force people to adopt very complex technical terms and patterns about how people work? Why force me to think of my team as either trolls or fairies, and how does that help me make a decision towards whether wiki will benefit my workgroup or business? Why not let me come up with my own terms (which is in line with the philosophy behind wikis in the first place)? 2- If you look at www.wikipatterns.com as a product, Confluence is making a classic mistake of focusing entirely on FEATUREs rather than actual benefits. It would have been better to use the guide to inspire everyone who is curious about wikis, rather than give them a headache and learning curve. More on my blog... Ouch.

We have been debating whether or not to add wiki structure to our business since many of our customers range from computer illiterate technophobes to technically adept but only within their comfort zone. We don't want to bypass the technology simply because some current users might fear it, but we also want to find a way to ease them into the 21st century. I'll definitely pass this along to our tech team! Nice resource!
