Web 2.0 and Wiki

The number of wikis is mind-boggling...as with the other activities it is an overwhelming amount of information. Using my topic of digital photographry though I was able to focus and find valid information that was specific to my interests. Interestingly the pages on Wikipedia have statements: This article needs additional citations for verification. What this actually means to me is that people interested in this topic, have not submitted published third party material, but the information is good enough for me.
I did a web search and came across this wiki for photographyhttp://www.techniphoto.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page , it has been just started so it seems fairly limited.
I think that staff and patrons would benefit from a library wiki. Applications could include local community information, library information, and program information.
