An exciting announcement over at Grow Your Wiki – Stewart Mader is leaving Atlassian (although he will continue to work part time on special projects) to start a new venture focusing on Wiki Consulting.  I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Stewart both on-line and in the real world, and I think this is a great move for him and his customers.

I’d particularly recommend his concept of BarnRaising workshops – check out his services for more details.  BarnRaising workshops solve the problem of having an empty wiki when you first launch, which no-one will use.  The wiki is actually built during the BarnRaising workshop so that when people go back to their desks, they have something of value they can use together.

Congratulations Stewart – and good luck!
