On Monday, I posted a reader poll over on Grow Your Wiki asking how people use wikis in organizations. As of last night, 127 people responded, and here's what they had to say:

There were three respondents who chose "Other", and here are their specific responses: Managing classroom information, garbage trash, and audits. Now, I can't really say much about garbage trash, but I can comment on the other two "other" uses:

Managing classroom information is an excellent wiki use. In fact, I got started using wikis doing something very similar - building a wiki-based science curriculum.

Using a wiki for audits is a great use too - besides having all your information easily accessible in one place, the revision history the wiki maintains for every page is very audit-friendly since it shows a complete trail of who contributed information, when they did so, and what was added, changed and removed.

Jeffrey Keefer (Twitter) commented on the post and asked about a poll for education uses. That's coming next week! He also asked for more information on some of the uses I included in the poll, like project management. Watch for that next week too.
