Wiki roadblocks
Well, my wiki was well received until I spoke with a member of the group in person. She wasn't hating on it but indicated she would not be getting her information there. Instead there will be a continual need to update the group via email. We had anticipated still needing emails, but more to direct people to the wiki to get the full details. Believe me, the wiki is still cutting down on emails and serving as a record or database for our group. For example, to ensure we don't have our monthly gatherings on the same weekday each month we can look back to the previous months to see what day we had it on. Anyway, my concern is that if not all are on board then is it worth keeping up. I feel it is. Any thoughts?

Growing up we had two choices for dinner: take it or leave it. I learned quickly that the food served was the food I was eating or nothing at all.
Once the hard cases learn that the only place to get data is on the wiki then they'll use it. If they learn that their old ways will still be supported, then what's the motiviation to change?
I say stick to your guns!
Maybe she will come around eventually...
She may need time to adjust to the change and accept it as a good thing. If the old way still exists, then she won't have pressure to adjust and accept the change and learn from it.
I would keep it up definitely!
It's a daunting task to get people to accept change... especially when it comes to technology. There's this lady at church who will not touch the computer. As our church is becoming more and more technologically savvy, she's missing out more (of course we keep her in the loop via "longhand"). People just need to get with it. I agree with Jeff.
