    Hi Tony, note the link from the Mars Blog page to the download of the .pdf presentation file does not work. However, the presentation can be found if you follow the link "http://webcast.marsdd.com/ent101/02_13_2007/high.html"

    I could not find any information on your slide presentation on the role of wikis in communicating business ideas.
