Cohousing-L Mailing List: How do you set up a wiki?

[Marty Maskall (mmaskall]

Hi Sharon,

 

We are a forming group.  We are looking for a solution for storing our
documents (Agenda, Minutes, Membership List, LLC Operating agreement, etc.).
We have a google group, but google groups has discontinued storing
documents.  We are wondering about Google Docs.  

 

But maybe a wiki would be better.  What do you think?  How do we set up a
wiki?

The wiki form is so easy to use. I'm starting to do work orders as planning
documents for major tasks. We are planning professional floor polishing
after we have our CH linoleum floors repaired. I needed to record a note to
include the office which has a VCT floor hastily installed 8 years ago. The
oozing adhesive was never removed from some of the seams and it was never
polished. 

 

I can send an email and it will get buried. I can tell the person who is
likely to do the scheduling but she may (reasonably) forget or the task may
be given to someone else. By starting a work order for floor polishing, I
can add my note and everyone else can add theirs. If anyone forgets to sign
their note, there is a log of who added what when.

 

Our less, even least, geeky members have been using the wiki like crazy so I
think it is the format of the future.
