I am glad it happened, if for no other reason than to make me think about something I hadn't considered. I don't see any reason to delete the post on <a href="http://learninginmaine.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Learning in Maine</a>. It would be a shame to lose this possible learning moment for anyone who might follow this thread. As I mentioned in my post, I am going to discuss this with my full group and we will decide if we want to go fully private or not. Thanks again for noticing us and for responding! Mark @ Jim-

Like you, it had not occurred to me that anyone would be upset that others could look on . . . but I can now understand that it is an issue for some and that certainly has to be respected. I do note that your wikispace can be made private so only members of your group can view. Just go to managespace/permissions. Of course, as Brian Spahr mentioned, there are many other options as well that can be as open or closed as desired. This has been a lesson for me as well. :) Would you prefer that I delete the post on Learning in Maine? Again, my apologies.

The internet and wikis are public space and some folks just aren't real keen on thinking out loud for the whole world to see. In reality, not many people will probably ever visit your wiki outside of those directly involved, and there would not likely be anythng divulged on the site that would be confidential. But some folks feel like it is an invasion of privacy. One alternative that might work if you wanted to create something private would be a google group or a backpack page (http://www.backpackit.com). Both can be useful. A private page could allow greater participation and a wiki could be a place to publicly post your learnings that also allows others to join in. A very wise learning indeed.
