Pro's

 * Supporting part-ups: Just like Part-up the part-up wiki supports part-ups. You can use Part-up for finding team members or make a list of activities. The part-up wiki can be used to share content. You could also use Confluence, Google docs, Google Sites, WordPress, SharePoint, etc. to share information. You should use the wiki because it's free of charge and provides enough CMS-functionality.
 * Learning:
 * Starting part-ups don't always have budget to stimulate people to participate. Another motivation to join a part-up is because you can learn something. On a wiki you can start a learning project.
 * Part-ups can learn from each other. An example is making a communication plan. See communicatie plan voor meer info.

Con's

 * Duplication: Duplication of information.
 * Lost: Information gets lost we you use more than one platform.
 * One platform: we should provide teams with one platform.
