How Pixar Uses Wiki for Collaboration

I came across an article from stewardmader.com listing 7 Effective Wiki Uses and the Companies that Benefit From Them. One of the companies that stood out was Pixar, quite possibly one of my top 10 favorite movie makers in the universe.

Even though this post is 5 years old (was 2008 REALLY five years ago?!), and references the film WALL-E, it hits on some decent points, stating that wikis have grown in their use and with such, CIO's should seriously consider taking advantage of the collaborative edge that wiki's can provide. Doing such, creating a community where employees aren't shut off from the rest of their peers in boxes and allowing them to interface via one joined medium, would no doubt lead to boosts in productivity.

For Pixar, a wiki is used internally to manage their film production.While anyone can access and view the Pixar wiki (try it!), its likely only employees can actually edit the pages within.
