Intro to Wikis

1. How do people interact? Just like other IM interactions.

2. What is the pattern of communication? People in the chat room can communicate with all or with individual users. They can also issue IRC commands like /help.

3. Are there any terms that seem to have special meaning? Any text prefixed with # is a MeetBot command.

4. What advantages might IRC have over other real-time communication methods (like Google Chat or Facebook Messenger?) Are there potential disadvantages? Looks and feels techie! MeetBot and other services are a plus.

5. Can you make any other observations? The MeetBot summarizes the meeting pretty well. I understand that it is more work for the meeting chair but it is worth the trouble.

6. Bonus question: Why didn't Heidi and Darci's actions get picked up by the meetbot? A username is case-sensitive. The MeetBot looks for usernames in interactions for action assignments.
