Answer to Question 1

Answer: If you are creating a new wiki, think through your long-term purpose carefully, just as you would with a new blog or podcast channel. Doing so will help you craft appropriate guidelines, editorial oversight, and security policies. For instance, the PlayStation development team at Sony uses a wiki to keep top managers up to date on new products; because this information is highly confidential; access to the wiki is tightly controlled. If you are adding a page or an article to an existing wiki, figure out how this new material fits in with the existing organization. Also, learn the wiki's preferred style for handling incomplete articles. For example, on the wiki that contains the user documentation for the popular WordPress blogging software, contributors are discouraged from adding new pages until the content is fairly complete and accurate.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Using wikis is a great way for teams and other groups to collaborate on writing projects, from brief articles to long reports and reference works. Let go of traditional expectations of authorship, including individual recognition and control and encourage all team members to improve each other's work.
