The wiki is a good idea as a knowedge tree to digest or farm
information but I wonder about its value for getting a message out to
all staff. I had a similar problem, how best to work out an e-version of our staff daily bulletin. In the end, I created an area called Staff and organised school staff within into groups called Teachers / SSO / Other. A News forum enables e-mail messages to be posted to all the staff and a Principal bulletin allows for a daily bulletin to be posted to all the college staff. I tortured myself over this but in the end decided to turn off the reply and post options for everybody but the admin team and office staff. We have other forums for social chat, footy tipping, professional learning teams tc but they are opt-in and small groups rather than spam for all.
