Case Study - FoodHub Wiki

Issue: The NSW Food Industry Training Council (NSWFITC) was concerned about the lack of resources available to support workforce development in the Food Industry, which is vital to Australia in terms of profitability, investment, exports and jobs growth.

Solution: Redlaunch designed FoodHub as a collaborative, free repository of high quality industry-specific information and learning resources. The wiki vision is that collective wisdom will enable FoodHub to become a valuable tool for all workplace supervisors and vocational trainers and assessors across the food industry.

Wiki

A Wiki (pronounced weekee) is a web application that allows users to add content, as on an internet forum, but also allows anyone to edit the content. The term Wiki also refers to the collaborative software used to create such a website.

Wiki (with an upper case W) and WikiWikiWeb are both used to refer specifically to the first wiki ever created (March 25, 1995). The name is based on the Hawaiian term wiki, meaning "quick," "fast," or "to hasten" (Hawaiian dictionary).
