The Wiki Carnival is coming next week! Two of my favorite bloggers, Michele Martin and David Wilcox are teaming up next to host a wiki carnival. What's a wiki carnival? It is a special event to get people to contribute content to a wiki. Modeled after blog carnivals like Kivi Leroux Miller's Carnival of Nonprofit Consultants, David and Michele are asking for contributions and ideas for their respective wikis on social media/web 2.0 and nonprofits.
What wiki pattern does this most match? Maybe they'll add new one! Now, off to think about a contribution ..
I'm mostly around next week. I'm going to try to participate. It sounds fun.

Thanks for the plug, Beth! I wish we could offer cotton candy or something. :-)

Beth,
The Wiki Carnival looks very interesting - I'll be following along, and looking for the contributions people make to wikipatterns!

I loathe the expression "best practices." It sounds smug and exclusive. I see the appeal of the phrase, both for purveyors of techniques, and people who are shoppoing around to learn techniques, but I don't like it. Like in your posts about interviewing; hat are the "best practices"? There are lots of opinions, but is one way "best"? Who says? "Best practices" seems like so much marketing jargon to me.
