Secondly, wikis by definition allow editing by anyone. So how do you protect a job posting against wilful malicious edits ? What if I post for a Job which mentions Python experience and then someone comes and edits "Python" to say "Ruby" ? Then the posting is violated and no longer valid.
Do I go back and change it ? Or do I lock the post against edits ? Then one does not need a Wiki anyway. I fail to get the basic inspiring reason behind a Job wiki and how it is useful apart from the common reason "wikis are cool" :) To me it looks like a Job wiki has inherent issues. Wiki + job posting does not go hand in hand. --Anand On Fri, Mar 7, 2008 at 4:18 PM, Anand Balachandran Pillai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not a bad idea, but a fundamental problem with Job wiki is that job > information is transient.
