FBI creates knowledge wiki

The FBI is testing a new collaborative internal Web site, or wiki, called Bureaupedia that officials say will enable users to create an encyclopedia of lessons learned, best practices and subject-matter expertise. Officials see Bureaupedia as a knowledge management tool that will let agents and analysts share their experiences to ensure that their accumulated insight remains after they retire. The project is a collaborative effort between FBI's chief knowledge officer and chief technology officer. The FBI's new wiki uses the same open-source software as Wikipedia, and after the test period is complete, the agency will launch it on the FBI's secure intranet, FBINet. Via FederalComputerWeek
