This post is to just give commentary on writing my wiki literature review while in the process of writing it. So far so good. My primary perceptions are still the same. I will say that I was writing with colleagues in a Google documents file. For collaborative writing, using Google documents seemed easier. Then, upon completion of the literature review, we moved the document into Wikispaces. This is no glamorous process. Basically, it is a copy and paste job that involves reformatting several things. The images need to be reimported into the wiki and then the videos need to be embedded. This may sound laborious, but it is really not that difficult in terms of processes. We could have created the document collaboratively in Wikispaces directly as well. It really comes down to personal preference.
Overall thoughts: Like any technology, the more you use it, the easier it gets. This is definitely not the first time I have used Wikispaces or wikis, in general, but it always takes at least a little time to get back into technology (and re-learning all of its quarks).
If you have used both a Wiki for collaborative writing and Google docs, which do you prefer?
