[Web4lib] wikis in libraries

Lars,

I guess I count all of the functionality that I mentioned as part of the
"public experience" of the wiki, regardless of whether they actively add
content or not. If they do, great, if not, there are other reasons to
have it set up like this.

With the exception of seven spammers who were immediately blocked, I see
only one user editing this site in the last year,
http://www.library.ohiou.edu/subjects/bizwiki/index.php?title=Special:Re
centchanges&limit=700&days=600

So even if the software makes this website a wiki, it doesn't really
provide any "public wiki experience".  I'd like to know of any examples
that do.
