I especially like the slides on patterns and community engagement. The Entrainment pattern looks similar to what I call the Magnet pattern - get a critical mass of content on the wiki, and establish it as the place to go. Also that quote you have on trust: "I trust RedBooks. I do not trust wikis." sounds like it's from someone who associates wikis with Wikipedia and its unique issues. The key there is really to do exactly what you're doing - use the wiki internally first to gain success and experience, then look for ways to engage the external community. Cheers, Stewart Chris,
