Wiki or Workspace?

I was reading Michael’s daily report and this caught my eye “Word vs Wiki in SharePoint” [ http://www.michaelsampson.net/2007/10/enterprise-co-4.html ]

Basically Michael points out an entry by Susan Hanly on the use of Wikis vs a Workspace in SharePoint. Susan is one of the authors of the book “Essential SharePoint® 2007: Delivering High-Impact Collaboration” - By Scott Jamison, Mauro Cardarelli, and Susan Hanley.

A chapter “Chapter 8: Sites, Blogs, and Wikis” of the book is available to read online.

I have often seen in some implementations some one somewhere makes an executive decision that a “Wiki” is the solution to all of collaboration needs. In a SharePoint deployment it is important to strike a balance of when to use a wiki and when to use a team site and a document workspace. I recommend you to read the sample chapter.
