Wikipedia is a powerful tool for research; I use it almost every day to find information about artists and works (and I've even edited a few entries, myself). Although it is open to misinformation and hacking, the best entries are documented with scholarly bibliographies, just like a print encyclopedia.
The visual resource collection curators of the 10 UC campuses (the "Sliders") have recently begun using a private wiki to collaborate on the shared digital image collection project. It allows us to organize discussions and upload documents for comments and editing. In the future, it will serve as place for curators to list what images they have digitized and can add to the shared collection, so that other curators won't have to duplicate their work.
Exercise: I visited the Learning 2.0 wiki and edited the listing for the VRC.
