  How can a wiki be used to build user-centric, user-maintained technical documentation sites that offer thorough and accurate technical information? More than two years ago, I issued a challenge to my colleagues to send me examples of technical documentation in a wiki. I was skeptical that wikis could be used in a meaningful way for technical content. Through tips from coworkers and word of mouth, I found several wikis to study for the types of content that can be placed in a wiki and try to derive best practices for when, why, and how to start a wiki.
