The primary difference between using a wiki and email for collaboration is in the mechanics of each. If you and I were using email and a text document to collaborate, there's a lot that would have to happen between when I edit the document and when you can edit it. With a wiki, however, you're able to see my changes to the document as soon as I save the page.
(This video was taped Yesterday, so the red sticker on my collar says "I Voted" in English, Chinese, and Spanish. If your primary is coming up later this week or next, please vote!)
