Creating a wiki

The Case Western wiki is quite slick, as is the one at Brown. They no doubt created these using SharePoint. I recall hearing Greg Franseth talk about using SharePoint to create public websites, and now I see better what he was talking about. Sounds like the CWU one announces itself as a wiki and invites participation and edits from all and sundry (if they have a cwu account).

I looked at some of the background info for PBwiki before creating my own. Once I had my account (and before editing) I tried to explore some of the starter links for tutorials and such, but none of them worked for me, perhaps because I'm on a Mac. I did bookmark my wiki as well as the related help site (getsatisfaction).

In creating my first page, I inadvertently skipped the step of naming the page, then found I could not go back to rename it. Adding a comment to answer my question was quite easy.

I'm curious about how businesses could use wikis for project management. Perhaps it's the wiki component of SharePoint that would support project mgt at UK....??

As a former tech editor, I've already edited several pages in Wikipedia where I found typos, but I certainly haven't tried to update or correct anyone's content!

Here's my new wiki at http://clearing.pbwiki.com/
At some point I saw directions for making a live link on the pbwiki site, but then when I needed them, I could no longer find them. So my Mahara URL is not live. And i didn't get any satisfaction by going to the getsatisfaction site, which does not appear to be readily searchable.

I'm curious as to why my blog posts get a timestamp that is two hours behind the time when I actually post.
