__Summary of my contributions__
__**
 * __I worked with creating a page that would help inform people about something that I regularly ingage in, Peer-To-Peer networks. Peer-To-Peer networks have been around for a relatively significant time now and many if not the majority of students have used Peer-To-Peer networks at one time or on a regular daily basis. Many of these students however were unfamiliar with exactly what a Peer-To-Peer network was and how it works or came to be. With the use of my own personal knowledge as well as information gathered around the internet, I was able to create an accurate, well organized, well summarized page outlining the major points needed to gain a bit of background knowledge surrounding Peer-To-Peer networks. I took a some time to edit other people's pages on topics I was familiar with such as Hi5, AsianAvenue, and other topics. I left my share of comments as well as read and put to use many of my peers' work. I found that as my work was also edited, my idea grew into something very useful. All in all I found that this project was a good idea and turned out well.

__Using Wikispaces__
As this was my first time using wikispaces or wikis in general, I wasnt sure what to expect. The process was much easier and actually a lot funner than I had thought it would have been. The way wikis are designed is fascinating and getting the chance to be involved in the production of such a large database of information was a good experience to say the least. Wikispaces is a very well designed website making the use of reading as well as editing wikis a very simple and easy process. The use of wikispaces is something that almost any can participate in from novice computer users to expert computer users.

__Suggestions__
Locating information is somewhat hard through wikispaces especially in a large database of information such as the one we here have put together. Something that many websites incorporate is a searching field which would probably prove useful for people using this site to gather information. A suggestion for future students doing a similar project would be to not start at the last minute and try to actually make editing the wiki part of your daily routine. In the end, the amount of work 10 minutes of editing a day could lead to is tremondous.
