Cohousing-L Mailing List: Wiki's Again

[Sharon Villines (sharon]

Several years ago several communities and cohousers sent me info on their use 
of wiki's for their community records. I was unable to move on that info 
because wiki's were still html coding-dependent. My residents are all fully 
coding independent. 

We are now using Google Sites which is fabulous but I'm becoming uncomfortable 
about using a service over which we have no control. I did find directions for 
exporting all the data but haven't tried it.

But, the question is, how hard is it to put a wiki program on our server. I 
just learned Wordpress and it has taken time to get up to speed — still lots to 
learn. But is the wiki software similar or is there more gibberish involved. 
It's the gibberish that clogs my brain.

Our people love the wiki, even the technophobes. I did a clone for reserve 
study people last year if you would like to look at a fraction of the stuff we 
store there. It is as easy as email or forums and much easier to find stuff and 
lovelier to look at.

All info welcome,
