preserving family history: a wiki

So I'm trying something new. I'm part of a wonderful extended family and stories are part of my family heritage. I'd like to preserve these stories for my family and my kids, so I started a wiki. I'm just hoping some of my family members join me in this venture; if not, it will never work.

What's a wiki? Well, it's a simple web page that people can edit with their browsers online. And they can work collaboratively, editing each others' stories. I use them in my classes, and with a simple WYSIWIG interface ("what you see is what you get," meaning you type and save, and the web page appears pretty much like what you typed), it should be fairly simple for my family members to take part. I've invited several of them to join the wiki (the ones I had current email addresses for) so I'll just wait to see if they join and start writing. I can always hope!
