Putting NuWiki to Work

NuWiki works, at coordinating the efforts of members of a team or organization in sharing knowledge and streamlining communications within and without the organization. If your group or organization is concerned with setting goals, writing policy, establishing procedures, maintaining documentation or providing information and need to keep track of all the minuscule details that seem to defy explicit definition...NuWiki works.
