The wiki for Inflight Icing has several roles.

• Internal Documentation & Tracking - Progress on tasks should be documented on the wiki.  This allows other group members to see what work has been done, what problems have arisen.  This should also facilitate hand-off of tasks when necessary.  This also helps us keep things from falling through the cracks, by having a single repository for knowledge.
• Collaboration - By providing a page that anyone on IFI can edit, it allows users to easily contribute to a common task.
• Document Repository - Papers, heuristics, meeting notes, plots, and other information can be put here for easy reference.

The IFI wiki is broadly organized at the top level.  Each project has it's own area as do some non-project subjects. Under each top-level area there are some common pages:

• task list - A table of every task that we want to devote substantial effort to achieving.  Similar to the current CIP/FIP upgrades table.
• nascent topics - A list of topics to further investigate, things we don't have time to look at now, but don't want to forget to address at some point.
• notes - Whenever we are working on something and want to track progress, info, etc.
• (Projects only) Change Log / Release Log

Areas like Science or Engineering are not meant to restrict who participates in those sections of the wiki, but are only for organizational purposes.
