Considerations for Scale
Commons Wiki vs System Wiki
Commons Wiki
Shared wiki by multiple library systems - shared burden, requires collaborative governance
System Wiki
Independent management - system ownership, policies
requires bootstrapping to setup the content
Could leverage modular resource design to share common resources between wikis to help bootstrap common resources
Hosting Config
Self vs hosted light weight
Logging
- Track user click paths and other logging
Tagging Config

Methods for Grouping Questions:
Categories
Management and Adoption

Private - internal only - behind firewall
