Sorry for the bad attempt at a pun....
In response to Marjs questions, I have begun to add sections to the collaborative tools wiki including the definition and some description of blogs and wikis. I have also added a beginning description of their potential uses in a government context. Diane will also be adding a link to the a more detailed wiki entry on some of the challenges and issues being raised by the wiki101 ie official languages, cultural issues, atip etc....
I was hoping other participants would take ownership of some of the other elements in terms of giving a description of them, how they are or could be used in government but also would provide a sense of how they might be demo'ed. In particular the webx and Instant Messaging. On the other hand I am not sure about chatrooms do they still exist??
As for the question as to how much to demo, i would say that if we can do blog wiki and webx we are doing well....Comments?

WOW!!!!!
Just thought I would note that since i sent the email regarding adding info to the wiki it has changed rapidly before my eyes! This is nothing short of cool. although i am wondering how versioning is handled i lost some text and at this point I am not sure if it was the multiple authors or me messing it up somehow. anyway something to flag...
I think that providing information in terms of how they are or could be used in government is a very good idea. The setting is quite different in a governmental environment and brings along particular issues regarding language, security, publications, intellectual property, safeguarding of information, history of documents, etc...
Also it could provide insight on how these collaborative tools could be used in a government environment for those who are not familiar with them.
