Abstract

The use of wikis in software development seems to be growing rapidly. Recently, software development teams have begun to employ wikis to do such things as: collaborate across locations; brainstorm and track projects; organize knowledge; and facilitate information sharing. This poster reports preliminary findings from the analysis of the logs of two wikis, which supported two different software development projects. This work shows that, with the wiki log analysis, it is possible to identify patterns of information sharing.
