> Dear SIG and Chapter Leaders,
>
> As was mentioned at Annual Meeting in Milwaukee, we have created a wiki
> for SIGs and Chapters (http://www.asis.org/wiki/chapters-sigs/ <https://frontend.cas.usf.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.asis.org/wiki/chapters-sigs/> ) because:
>      * It will give each chapter and SIG a space to have their own
> wiki pages without having to create and maintain their own wiki
> software.
>      * It will allow chapters and SIGs to easily collaborate on
> projects with other groups, including planning panels for Annual Meeting
> or regional events.
>      * It might be a good place to hold the Annual Reports (all
> members of a chapter can work on the report in one place and then
> chapters and SIGs can learn from each other and get new ideas or ask
> for help from another chapter). Although I know we are working on
> streamlining that process.
>      * It will allow us to update general reference documents quickly
> as we develop new procedures or ideas to make things run more smoothly.
>
> We encourage you to explore the wiki and create as many additional
> pages as you like to help you facilitate the activities of your
> Chapter or SIG and learn from the activities of others.
>
> There is a Wiki FAQ linked from the home page
> (http://www.asis.org/wiki/chapters-sigs/index.php/ASIST_Chapters-SIGs_Wi <https://frontend.cas.usf.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.asis.org/wiki/chapters-sigs/index.php/ASIST_Chapters-SIGs_Wi>
> ki_FAQ) that will introduce you to the wiki and how to use it. There are
> also extra links at the bottom and top of the home page to help
> you.
>
> If you are looking for examples of use, the New England chapter has
> posted their Annual Report, the International Information Issues SIG
> is using it for planning their InfoShare procedures, and we've created
> a page for the Annual Reports and Awards Submission
> Project/Conversation that we started at the Chapter Leaders Breakfast
> at Annual Meeting (under Chapters > Reference and All Chapters Area).
> Amy Wallace sent an email about it a while ago and we've posted
> that email on the page and you can just "edit" the page to add your
> comments about the various points (Caryn already started in the "how
> should we share this information" section).
>
> Please let us know if you have any questions about, comments on,
> problems with or ideas for the wiki. It's for you, so if something
> would make it better for you, we can make it so (probably).

> All our best for the holiday season,
