Some Current Rhet/Comp Wikis:

The new CompFAQs wiki, and extension of CompPile:http://comppile.tamucc.edu/wiki/CompFAQs/Home. This is a password-protected wiki dedicated to collaboratively-authored responses to recurring questions about teaching in and administering writing programs. This wiki has blossomed in just a few weeks. Take a look to see how helpful it can be—and how you might be helpful to it. (Ask not [only] what your wiki can do for you; ask [also] what you can do for your wiki)

-A course in Blogs and Wikis from Bemidji State University by M. C. Morgan: http://ferret.bemidjistate.edu/~morgan/cgi-bin/blogsandwiki.pl?Entry_Point

-A course in Ecologies of Rhetoric at Penn State, by Richard Doyle:
http://pbl.ist.psu.edu/cgi-bin/analog.pl?RhetoricalEcologies

-And an article about Penn State’s pilot program in wiki-based composition courses: http://www.futureofthebook.org/next/text/?q=node/9

I know that there must be many more that we could add to this list. And so I encourage you to do so at a wiki that I have set up, called Teaching Comp: http://www.seedwiki.com/wiki/teaching_comp/teaching_comp.cfm?wpid=222761

Note: this is a public wiki, hosted by Seedwiki.com. The “edit page” field has a WYSIWIG editor similar to a word document. The only markup you’ll need to learn is how to create a new page; in this wiki, you create a new page by placing the page name within square brackets: [New Page Name]. Mac users will need to use the Firefox browser.
