Summer Camp, wikis and clients
I've just archived last year's Summer Camp site. They turned down my suggestion to set up a wiki, ostensibly because they were afraid of what content could be posted there and it would be "too chaotic." *sigh* That's the *point* of a wiki - to allow people to post stuff (photos, reviews, questions etc etc etc) online. Only people really interested in Summer Camp would visit the site anyway and if anything nAsty is put there it can easily be taken off. The point is that a wiki allows a community to develop a site and not just a few people at the top. It allows anyone to have their say and sure, while this can be chaotic there's some great stuff which can come out of that.
