What if people stopped e-mailing files?

E-mail is a great thing, it helps you to connect with friends, family, colleagues. It is fast, reliable (well sort of) and can get you information you need from someone.

But what if e-mail becomes a liability? How many of you have had the experience of jointly working on a document with a number of people via e-mail? And how many of you have had issues with using the correct version? Well I am going to guess a lot of you, as I have.

Is there no better way to share or work on documents? Yes, there is imho. In my team we have started slowly to use a wiki to share documents. Everyone in the team has access to the files, can upload a new version. And if it is a text document, we can all work on it together. All benefits for the team.

Have you used a wiki at work or for private use? What is your experience?
