TechWiki – A 4am Wiki.
Usually when you want to get something done the first thing most people would do is to probably search for it on some popular Search Engine. Invariably one finds blog posts, wiki entries, manuals and help pages that describe various solutions. A lot of the time one would follow the steps described in the first (or shortest) such page, and just when you think you have got a solution, there is a small glitch that makes it all fall apart.
So….more reading, more tweaking and you realize that the source that you were following forgot to mention ‘those details’ like…”this doesn’t work on Linux” or “To get this working on older browsers however you will have to do some additional work which is beyond the scope of this document”.
By the time you get everything to work you have gone through at least five different pages describing the same task – so far so good, but what if you wanted to do the same thing again a month down the line.
We at 4am, document some of our adventures and have shared it publicly on a wiki, just for the fun of it!
So all you hackers, coders, geeks and aliens out there … check out TechWiki, add, edit etc…and let us know what you think.

What is this “exchange of learnings” you speak of? Going forward are we also going to be leveraging the paradigm shift to facilitate the improvement of team players? just thought I should touch base with you about it.
