Preface

• Web 2.0 Crucial to New Information Workplace, CIO Magazine, November 29, 2007, C.G. Lynch, CIO:– Forrester reports that from blogs to wikis to virtual

worlds, the modern information worker wants a seamless user experience and more and more, IT will be forced to deliver.

– The Seven Tenets of the Information Workplace: Contextual, Individualized, Seamless, Visual, Multimodal, Social, and Quick.

Preface

• In my experience, CIOs have asked me for the following:– Collaboration: Communities of Practice Using Wiki

Technology - Free 7.5 Minute Introduction to DVD Hosted by EPA Region 4 and Produced by the OGETA Form (Requires QuickTime Player).

– The 22nd Semi-Annual Spring Government CIO Summit, May 6-8, 2007. Government by Wiki: New Tools for Collaboration, Information-Sharing, and Decision-Making.

– Executive Spotlight for Web 2.0 Conference (Like Facebook for Government 2.0) and Webcast.

– Business Needs and Role Reversal: Before and After Web 2.0.

Preface

• CIOs need to see the following:– How to setup a Wiki and administer it.– How to build content from multiple sources like emails,

documents, web sites, etc.– How to design a home page and redesign and reorganize on the

fly.– How to collaborate within and outside of firewalls with access

restrictions and security.– How to keep a Blog (Weblog) of activities and assignments.

• Students (CIOs) should be able to do these steps so they can speak from personal experience about Web 2.0 Wikis and continue to have their own Wikis and Blogs!

Step 12: Set Security

• Public: everybody can view and edit.• Semi-Public: everybody can view, but only

selected users can edit.• Private: only selected users can view and edit

this page.• Note: Deki Wiki has one of the most advanced

permission systems available. Deki Wiki administrators can make wikis public or private, anonymous or not. There is user groups support. Users can permission entire hierarchies to create private or non-editable workspaces or permission single pages.

Step 13: Monitor Users

Step 14: Revise/Reorganize

• To soon for this new Wiki, but for another EPA Web 2.0 Wiki Project I did the following quickly:– Moved content from Wiki to another Wiki.– Implemented a set of topics and subtopics.– Created a new user interface.– Updated the Tutorial slides and uploaded them.

Note: This shows how agile and flexible the Web 2.0 Wiki environment is to respond to requests that would be more difficult (or impossible) and time consuming with Web 1.0 collaboration technology.
