Excerpt:
'This paper discusses lessons learned from using a web-based collaborative tool, commonly 
referred to as a wiki, to create custom intelligence products for decisionmakers in 
national security, law enforcement and business. The author argues that analysts are 
massively and consistently more productive using a wiki. He observes that the reduction 
in time spent accomplishing administrative duties, while modest in individual terms, 
quickly add up giving the teams more time to spend analyzing the data and less time sorting 
it our or sending it around to other team members. This result is better, more nuanced, 
analysis no matter how difficult the problem or how successful the team ultimately is in 
examining the topic under discussion.'
