FamilyWiki

A wiki for the whole family. Does it work? I wonder whether family blogs work. A wiki could have different entry pages for the various family members. Is there even a need for wiki-structured communication amongst family members? Maybe this only makes sense if the family members are separated physically.

One benefit of wikis is that they act as very simple web publishing tools. Anybody can learn it. But if that's the only reason to start a family wiki, I think there will be very little interaction between the family members on the wiki, and therefore this won't yield to new and surprising results.

I tried creating wikis for my mother and sister, but it didn't take off. My father has posted on my home wiki, however.

Will let you know Alex about my first experiences with Maxime. I'm separated from my children (Max, Lucie et Aymeric... far from 100 km) and would be strongly interested in any similar experience. For the moment, Maxime (13, a newbie in internet) is discovering wiki associated with Jabber. Wiki is only considered as a repository for me to drive his first steps on the network. Hopefully, I would like him to invite his friends to create his social network and to share more about his sport and school activities. For Lucie (10) and Aymeric (8), let's consider it as a WikiCourrier [1]. And why not imagine later any MultilingualExperiment :)

Indeed the paedagogical aspect. All the friendship and experience in written communiction amongst teens. And the kick for learning languages involved. Best regards to Maxime! Another good reason to make wiki popular.

The pedagogical aspect may be dangerous for the pedagogist. A lifetime may not be long enough when trying to get family members involved on a technically implemented communication ground. To avoid failing miserably one should make sure there is some well defined and demonstrable purpose, which goes beyond showing some nice technical features. FamilyWiki is a lovely idea, for a grandpa like me ... but it takes a grain of salt!

I've been reading a FamilyBlog today...
