Using a wiki for a job progress system

Because of the increasing complexity to the on-line presence of the university and the multiple projects that are on-going we have been looking at how best to keep track of jobs and have useful information in a centralised location easily accessible to everyone. We already had a wiki running, powered by Mediawiki, kindly set up for us by ICT but as yet little real use for it. So we are trailing running our Job Progress System on the wiki.

Every job will be assigned a job number and relevant and update information kept on the job as it "travels" through the system. Once the job is completed it will then be archived allowing us to build up a database of completed work for accountability, statistical and historical purposes.
