Wikis can be really useful for a number of applications. I belong to one that co-ordinates meal providers for a local homeless shelter. It does indeed make planning simpler; moreover, this wiki notifies me by email every time there has been a new posting or other alteration on the site.
The Library Conference Wiki would certainly be of use to participants before and during the conference, especially those new to conferencing or those unfamiliar with the DC area. Once the conference was over, the wiki would be considerably less useful in some respects, but could also be a networking source for participants, or a way to recoup or get further information about the conference.
The Best Practices Wiki was fun to look at, and a potential source of great information and additional opinion. I found myself surfing from one topic to another, and had to pull myself back to this assignment. I will definitely put that site on my favorites list!
I find the Materials Management wiki a useful and up-to-date way to access the Collection Development Manual. It is a real improvement over the old paper one that took such time and effort to update.
