A wiki is one the technology tools used in collaboration as members of a given group articulate topical  issues. Every member gets a chance to observe what others have contributed and he or she builds from such and an angle to understand better and internalize the concept at hand.

It some times becomes funny while collaborating because some members are too committed to the collaboration forum keep updating the wiki whereas other can choose to become quasi collaborators who virtually contribute nothing apart from editing one or two statements and then save.

In some cases, some members think that collaboration requires when all members are logged in to the internet at the same time and then use it as if it was a Watsapp chat or Facebook messenger. No! its not the case. However any body can log in any time of his convenience and then contribute his issues to a pool of issues from the majority collaborators. 

I can improve the process of collaboration with my design group in the following ways: 

Because the collaborative design is a bit complex and challenging task, and that not all members are committed, I can create a watsapp group since majority today use Android mobile phone so that issues are first written about on a different platform and then later transfer such sieved ideas to the wiki.

I can as well create a rapport by pausing simple questions and then create smaller groups, each assigned a given broken down task that is as well simple so that they get encouraged to actively involve in the collaborative exercise and with useful arguments.    

I have gained a lot from this lesson because all the generated ideas on the group wiki so far from my colleagues were educative and I could not easily come up with all of them given the task alone.

In the mean time I don't think I have anything to change from the collaboration procedure that we are following currently because it is yielding good results-contributing to my understanding of lesson 7 of 'Managing Warmware'
