California launches a best practice government wiki

As reported in Government Technology, California has launched a best practices wiki for state employees.

It currently covers topics including:

• Healthcare in Prisons
• Customer Service
• Disaster Preparedness
• Education and Training
• Green California
• Human Resources
• Information Technology

The wiki can be accessed at bestpractices.ca.gov, although it requires a California email address to register.

There's an interesting write-up regarding the process used to create the wiki as a sample best practice.

I expect to see more of these types of self-regulating professional networks emerge across government over the next few years in support of moves to whole-of-government standards and to improve knowledge capture, transfer and management.
