Web 2.0 Project Topics

I'm most interested in focusing on wikis for my Web 2.0 project. I'm currently teaching a collaborative research project in my English 218 class in which students deliver an informative and persuasive wiki site on a particular topic, which I've proposed to present on at Computers and Writing next year (haven't heard whether it's been accepted or not, but whatev). I think they're a really fascinating phenomenon and have the potential to allow the "general public" more control over information, so I'd like to do more research on wikis as an educational tool.

Any takers?
