This is an interesting point, at the WCCE (World Conference on Computers
in Education) last week the debate around blog/wiki came up. It was
interesting to note that teachers and less technical people almost
always prefer blogs, and developer and the more technically minded seem
to prefer the wiki format...

We were debating which to include in Edubuntu at our Summit, and I was
pretty adamant about a wiki being better - now I wonder if the barrier
to entry is too high for the average, less technically inclined user
(which I gather the majority of teachers will be)

I also found this slightly confusing at first, but I think I figured it
out pretty quickly, but then I tend to still need to look up most html
tags (save the very common and obvious ones)...
