In my last post, I talked about the characteristics of my library. To begin this post, I'd like to explore the library's wiki needs:
- is a FREE hosting site
- does not require coding knowledge (WYSIWTG)
- is easy to update and to maintain
- is professional in appearance
- shows recent changes
When I entered the above requirements into wikimatrix, it returned 23 results:
@Wiki, BrainKeeper, CentralDesktop, Confluence, Cospire, EditMe, GeniusWiki, Groupswiki, Incentive, Luminotes,MindTouch, Netcipia, nexdo, Papyrs, PBwiki, SamePage, Springnote, Wagn, Wetpaint, wikihost.org, Wikispaces,WordonWiki and Zoho Wiki
After comparing them side by side and flipping through a few wiki examples of the free hosting sites, I chose to use Wikispaces. For now, my library wiki is still a work in progress, but I will keep you updated!
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI'm using Wikispaces as well! It is still very much a work in progress at this point. My lunch break and evening will be devoted entirely to this wiki project.
