Why do people NOT use wikis?  Below responses are in the context of workshop group discussion about workshop wiki.

1.    Social acceptability, social process--- other tools (markers, paper) were in front of us.
2.    We listened to the directions. Following directions, not questioning.
3.    Process --- not right for this point in the creative process
4.    Distracting if people are looking at their computers
5.    but: Elaborations under post-its were some of the most important points made
6.    but: Transcription of comments while talking might have been better
7.    Talking is faster
8.    More dynamic just speaking
9.    Now we're trained to look at computer
10.  but: Daniel liked poster so we took a picture
-We read and commented, if something was missing
-Ole helped create infrastructure on the site
13.    You can suggest something else, change it
14.    It's like all of us put our postits on other peoples posters, and in the last 20 minutes, we said, OK, what do we have to present?
15.    What kind of wiki do we need to present our ideas?
16.    Us thinking together about how to combine.
