How should FSGW use this wiki?

Strategy

  1. The important purpose of this wiki is to make it easy to find FSGW information, documents and other resources. I have seen too many cases where information was lost when people left, or people forget things over time.

  2. The information itself cannot all be stored inside the wiki, but links and descriptions for as much information as possible should be in the wiki.

  3. A huge strength of the wiki is that you can text search through everything in the wiki all at once. That does not work for Google Docs on Shared Drives. Google Docs and Sheets stored on FSGW Shared Drives are a great tool, but without someone who knows which information is in what Google Doc, even that information can effectively be lost.

  4. With information that people are not comfortable having online even with the wiki's access control, or information that is too much trouble to make generally online accessible, what should go in the wiki is a description of the information (brief but not TOO brief) and how to access it. That makes the information's existence searchable, which is a big win.
